In Nebraska, the Legislature writes the budget. The governor can sign it or veto it. Once signed, it’s law. Gov. Pillen is now seeking a blanket 5% cut, including $36M+ from NU, after signing it. Fiscal responsibility means changing the law, not rewriting it afterward.
PRIDE is our POWER...walk with pride, walk in power, walk with fellow Dems in tomorrow's Heartland Pride Parade. See graphics for staging location details & to receive complete details, rsvp at: mobilize.us/nebdems/event/979041
