As you may have noticed, UNO Dems Blog has embarked on the lofty goal of keeping up to date not just with Omaha City Politics, National News, and In-Depth Reporting… but also our dear Unicameral.
In our last Unicameral Update we covered Gov. Heineman’s ridiculous attacks on the University of Nebraska System. Heineman was also the cheif culprit of another recent post, about property tax reform (Democrats are for it… Heiny is against it). Also: UNO Dem thoughts on a few good early bills in the Unicam.
So what’s new this week?
When a bill goes to committee, it usually gets a hearing. This is when anyone, even us College Dems, can treck down to Lincoln and have our voices heard on anything we care about. So what’s up for a first hearing this week?
Some favorites (or least favorites, you decide):
- LB72 (Fischer) Prohibit beginning a school year before Labor Day
- LB205 (Howard) Require schools to adopt a bullying policy
There’s more… lots lots more.
