Shouldn't have mattered... Baker put in writing, to me, that he was a supporter of 289. I just emailed him with my 'present but not voting is unacceptable' message. Coward.

Got this back from Senator Sara Howard (District 9 - Omaha)
--- Quote ---Thank you for your email on LB 289 which would prohibit local governments from enacting ordinances prohibiting conceal carry.
The bill was reported out of the Judiciary Committee and the Legislature has begun what will be a protracted debate. Several members of the Judiciary Committee who voted to advance the bill out of committee have expressed concerns about the bill during floor debate.
The idea of local control is best on various issues is a common argument made in the Legislature. LB 289 would seem to run counter to that philosophy. I would expect a healthy debate on its merits and problems. A majority of the Omaha City Council and the Omaha Police Officers Association have expressed their opposition to LB 289 and their support of local control on this issue. I take very seriously the views of our law enforcement officers that LB 289 would make their jobs more difficult. I cannot support LB 289 in its current form which is why I voted to send the bill back to the Judiciary Committee for further consideration.
I also expected similar legislation to prohibit gun free zones near schools, churches and other public areas to raise similar concerns about local control. In my annual legislative survey of District 9, 65% opposed weakening the gun free zones law with only 30% supporting and the remaining 5% unsure.
I appreciate hearing from you and I will keep your views in mind as we move forward.
Sincerely,
Sara Howard
State Senator

I think she is firmly with Senator Chambers and a "NO" Vote on it!
