Today is a sad day for Nebraska........the liberals (Democrats) killed LB 239 :(

Shame on Republicans Kathy Campbell and John Harms for voting against cloture (to end debate). Kudos to Democrat Karpisek for voting for cloture.

Why was my Senator Abbie Cornett and Senator Seiler not there for this crucial vote? And why did Senator Louden abstain from the vote? Those three votes would have defeated the filibuster!

Omaha Sens. Brenda Council and Heath Mello and Lincoln Sen. Bill Avery led the filibuster against the measure.

 

Ms. Council keeps proving to be a real thorn in the ...

At least I'm happy to see my rep came down on the right side of the fence.

I don't know wher Abbie Cornett was but Senator Seiler is in the hospital, he just had heart surgery.

That's understandable then but Louden and Cornett have explaining to do. Course those two votes wouldn't have been enough. :(
