I know the #neleg is in session and all but I can't help but note that the Royals are so mf back it hurts

Reviewing the #neleg 's daily journals for a project I'm working on and just learned that Sen. Fred Meyer's full name is Frederic.

No k at the end. Just Frederic.

This has rattled me. Felt compelled to share

State senators at #neleg were inundated with hundreds of phone calls and emails last week, part of a pressure campaign after a conservative radio host discovered #Nebraska is not winner-take-all.

Some offices turned the ringers off on their phones: journalstar.com/news/state-reg…

On debate for LB1402, which appropriates state tax dollars for private school scholarships, the #neleg has disposed of 1 of 3 filibuster motions.

But proponents of Sen. Lou Ann Linehan’s bill have advantageous position in the speaking queue and can call question to force votes.

I’m waiting for Charlie Kirk’s rally to start at Lords of Hosts Church in Omaha. He’s advocating for the winner-take-all electoral vote system in Nebraska. Already a long line forming for the 7 p.m. event. I’ll post any updates in this thread.

The Trump-backed bid to make Nebraska a winner-take-all state ahead of the 2024 presidential election has no path forward in the #neleg .

'It's just procedurally impossible' to make the legislation law this year, the bill's sponsor said today.

FYI … Wednesday night’s procedural vote on winner-take-all was 36-9, not 36-8, because Sen. Loren Lippincott of Central City had raised his hand to be counted as having been missed. His vote was added to the tally after, the Clerk’s Office said, because someone saw him.

The 'Sports and Spaces Act' was advanced to the floor on Thursday on a 5-3 vote and is expected to be debated on Friday. journalstar.com/news/state-reg…
