If only more regents were like him! He has a great outlook on social justice. I am very happy to hear that he supports stem cell research at UNMC. It can save lives but does NOT cause abortions and that is the bottom line. I was very impressed with Hassebrook’s comments at last Monday night’s meeting. If only more regents were like him!

Our society needs a social safety net and regulation of the marketplace to protect workers and consumers. Government can play a role in solving problems. Democrats believe in helping working families and support the right of workers to bargain collectively. If we focused more on our traditional Democratic values of being an advocate for working people - I think that our party would regain its majority status.

"UNO Chancellor Nancy Belck said tentative plans would add housing for up to 400 students on the main campus on Dodge Street by the fall of 2007. Housing for another 800 students would follow on the south campus. The two proposals would double on-campus residence space at the urban campus, which had no student housing until 1999. Regents Chuck Wilson of Lincoln and Chuck Hassebrook of Lyons said they were concerned that expanded housing at UNO would draw students who might otherwise go to other NU campuses." He sounded positive about UNO at the meeting, sounds like a double standard to me.... Ok, does this piss anyone else off except for me….This article was on the Omaha World Herald today, and one line in it caught me off guard.

Sometimes we can not believe what we see either. You heard the saying "don't believe anything you read and half of what you see." With special effects maybe we shouldn't believe what we see either. What he said is basically true. More students would come to UNO if we had expanded housing and it would draw student away from other NU campuses. From the comment it sounds like he thinks that would be a bad thing but I am not totally sure he meant it in that context. I don't trust the Omaha Wierd Herald much anyway. Okay, it is three o'clock in the morning and maybe I am not thinking to good. Maybe you should ask Chuck what he meant. Sometimes we can not
