Analytically Curious. Hobbies are my favorite. I actually like unloading the dishwasher. ๐Ÿ˜ท NE02 If it isnโ€™t in quotes, it is what I heard & how I interpreted it. Doing my best to stay engaged in the Nebraska Unicameral.

Sen Roundtree addresses the truancy tracking countering to the claim that education is a privilege and not a right. If one could through education away with no accountability, then truancy wouldnโ€™t be a thing. #neleg

*must be nice to live in a world of his own making where there are those worthy of education, housing, food, clean water and air.

Privilege is the Republican word of the day in #neleg

Listening to LB654, knowing that some in the room donโ€™t think that any of the reasons given are actually valid.

Then, as I type this, Sen Hansen gets up and confirms what Iโ€™ve been thinking this morning. He doesnโ€™t mince words. It doesnโ€™t sound like he believes everyone should be educated. #neleg

It is 11:31, still on LB 653 and AM1947 & AM2098.

Ready to be proven wrong, but I still havenโ€™t heard anyone speak directly about THEIR own district. #neleg

Senator McKinney reminds Senators that they shouldnโ€™t be complaining about him representing and talking about OPS. They should be talking about the districts they actually represent. #neleg

Send Lonowski, Hughes & Kauth are apparently the ones who have been assigned by the majority to speak.

Watching #NELeg and I have never seen Senator Conrad this (rightfully) angry. LB653 is up with AM1947 and there is laughter heard off on the side of the floor. She (appropriately) calls it out as those taking selfies & playing legislature. โ€œYou donโ€™t need 12 years to know this work is serious.โ€

Sen Murman, after Sens M Cavanaugh, Dungan & Juarez spoke against Sen Hardinโ€™s comments to Sen Hunt, would like to get back to the bill at hand, LB538 & FA960.

Shortly after, the Speaker passed it over, as suggested by one of the prior speakers. #neleg

Around the 2 hour mark on #NELeg video today, the Nebraskan LD8 sent to represent us, Sen Hunt, retells an interaction with Sen Hardin. His blatant sexual harassment is not only inappropriate, but it has no place in our government. Shame on Senator Hardin. Shame on anyone who heard & is silent.

Sen Tanya Storer stands, speaking on the mic in Nebraska Legislature. She is wearing a single color suit with mockneck top of the same color. A man can be seen behind her in the background looking down at his phone.

Sen Storer doesnโ€™t like โ€œfeeling bullied into a vote of supportโ€ for a bill. #neleg

*She does look lovely in this purply color suit. Anyone know what this shade is?

Sen Jacobson has a firefighter nephew. He has had time to work on it too. Instead, he is digging his heels in about this hill not ever getting 33 votes to pass. Calling their benefit plans Cadillac plans. #neleg

Again, she is on about how it is a good bill, but know how she is working to help โ€œfixโ€ it. If I recall correctly, this (or similar) bill was brought last year by Sen Wordekemper too. So she has had time.

Indefinitely postpone fails 16:27:4. We continued on LB 400 MO284.

Sen Hallstrom wants to reconsider vote just taken.

Sen Raybould first up. On about unfunded mandates. (Unsure if she has an AM proposed to add to this bill she claims is not ready.) Goes on about pension funds. #neleg

Sen Jacobson up with his same talking points. Says he asked his doctors what caused his cancer and they couldnโ€™t tell him. Claims there could possibly be a firefighter who smokes and is a welder, so why cover anyone*. #neleg

*(People who choose to save the rest of us when dire.)

Sen Hallstrom gets on the mic, pretty defensive with a minimizing & dismissive speech he calls a prayer. He is adding an AM Sen Wordekemper calls poison pill. Keeps saying he is genuine and working on good faith. #neleg

Still on Firefighter cancer bill. Pointing out 15% of the session is over, Sen Moser sounds exhausted by being here. He says {people} will be getting cancer, so why should we cover it, just go through insurance. Damages will come. Thumb on scales of justice. Mentions โ€œpresumptive precedence.โ€ #neleg

LB400 Sen Wordekemperโ€™s bill to support for Firefighters who get cancer has opposition from banker-man, Sen Jacobson.

Small town Nebraska wondering โ€œwhy does no one want to move or stay here.โ€

Sen J โ€œThey are paid enough. They chose this job.โ€ #neleg

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are whatโ€™s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Hey Sen Hansen, if there are inappropriate jokes made in the absence of a female, they are still inappropriate.
