CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Gov. Matt Mead says he’s open to possibly arranging for the Wyoming Department of Transportation to plow roads inside Yellowstone National Park this spring, provided that the state isn’t stuck with the bill amid the federal budget cuts that have delayed plowing.

The governor’s office has been conferring with Cody and Jackson officials to get state plows to Yellowstone and open up the park’s East and South entrances sooner than the dates targeted since the cuts took effect March 1.
