Public service isn’t just a job, it’s a commitment to serving your neighbors and your community. As a former nonpartisan civil servant, I was proud to stand with @NAPEAFSCME61 tonight as we celebrated the workers who keep our communities and state running. #NE01 #UnionStrong

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen is looking to state agencies under his control to cut at least 5% in spending. Critics, including the leader of the state's largest labor organization, warn a new round of cuts will lead to a decline in state services. ketv.com/article/nebraska-go…

Nebraskans owe $129M in unpaid income taxes. Last week, the state laid off the collectors. "If you owe taxes in Nebraska and don't want to pay them, boy, you just hit the jackpot," one laid-off employee said. journalstar.com/news/state-r…

A southeast Nebraska county has been locked in a nearly 2-year legal fight – not with a rogue contractor or problem property owner, but with its own employees. The ongoing labor dispute has cost Richardson County at least $143K in legal fees. Read more ➡️ buff.ly/DL2uEGB
