LINCOLN, NE – Governor Jim Pillen released the following statement after the legislature failed to invoke cloture on LB1071.
“The legislature has a job to do – and Nebraskans expect them to get it done,” said Gov. Pillen. “My message right now is simple: It’s time for them to stop playing political games and pass a balanced budget. The people of our state deserve better.”
