Maybe it’s the tough times, but gaining the competitive edge seems to be on the minds of state officials more than usual.

Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal (D) issued a stern reminder on Monday (Oct. 26) to lawmakers from at least 13 states that competition often trumps cooperation between states.

“Cooperation is contradictory to the fundamental way we relate to each other. As states, we compete,” Freudenthal said, according to an Associated Press account of an energy symposium in Jackson ,Wyo. “We compete for economic development; we compete for water resources; we compete for ink in the newspapers; we compete for attracting good and bright minds to our universities.”
