Title: Sen. Ebke
Post by: Les on November 26, 2018, 04:43:48 PM
Apparently she has a new job.  I'll bet it pays more than the Legislature.  http://newschannelnebraska.com/local-news/platte-institute-hires-state-lawmaker-targeted-for-defeat-by-ricketts/

I am glad to hear she is landing on her feet. Hope her replacement isn't another PPB or Morfeld.

She's a libertarian.

The irony is not lost on Ricketts being the Platte Institute founding money.

She voted opposite of his and the parties position on several bills in her first session (2 years) in the legislature ie. the death penalty.  This caused him to call her and several other Senators out, which was a major reason she changed parties from Republican to Libertarian, while there were other reasons this was a big one.
