The voucher folks know school privatization is not popular; that’s why they do things like vilify teachers & public schools, rewrite previous “school choice” bills w/ new catch phrases or terms, etc, #NeLeg Let’s go Nebraska! We can repeal LB753 #SOSne

But apparently we have money to give to private schools. #NeLeg

I heard it's The Capitol Cat-🌽🏛🐈 Cameron's birthday! I didn't want him to be lonely so I made a visit. I'm happy to report he's having a good day. If you have good speakers you may be able to hear him purr, which seemed to require being pet by both hands. Happy birthday Cameron! Neleg

“This year's #neleg was more like a reality TV show, with culture-war rhetoric, open hostility among lawmakers, name-calling, yelling and more.” ABC News abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/n… 1/2

Kathleen Kauth claims she’s listening to her constituents when it comes to LB753. Have you emailed her? #Millard Millard Public Schools #NeLeg #SOSNe #ILovePublicSchools

Pete Ricketts and Tom Peed donating to Legislative campaigns paid off. #Nebraska is for millionaires. #neleg

Upholding decorum may seem old school, but it's an enduring and vital aspect of democratic lawmaking. Lawmakers ought to respect each other, not due to personal identities, but because they symbolize the voices and interests of the people they represent. #neleg #KeepItNonpartisan

Today, Illinois makes history as the first state in our nation to officially end book bans once and for all.

We’re showing everyone what it looks like to stand up for liberty. As simple as that.

Great day today! People were lined up and fired up, asking to sign the petition and volunteering to collect more signatures. I ran out of petitions & supplies and had to restock.

Thank you for reading me, challenging me, encouraging me, and now it's time to go. journalstar.com/news/local/gov…

The majority of Tom Peed's Family Foundation giving went to Catholic entities 2001-2020. The #Lincoln Diocese got $1.8+ million. Pius X High School, attended by Peed kids, got $406,700+.
LB753 is for millionaires.

The votes by 32 Senators against Senator Megan Hunt's amendment (require protections against discrimination) were abhorrent & one of many important reasons to repeal this tax scheme from law.. .Public dollars belong with public schools that serve ALL Nebraska children. #neleg #SoSNE

We were so excited to sign the Support Our Schools Nebraska petition to repeal LB753 at a recent event hosted by Nebraska Civic Engagement Table to celebrate the end of the #neleg session

Please don't go.

I hate to admit, but it's true about my state.

It has only been a week since the kick-off for the petition drive to repeal LB753 and I've had so much fun volunteering to gather signatures! I am heartened to talk with so many parents and community members who support our public schools. ❤ /1

'“LB753 is not about helping kids, it’s about giving huge tax breaks to corporations and the super wealthy,” “This is a scheme to divert hundreds of millions of tax dollars to private schools. It’s a bad public policy and it will hurt public schools.”journalstar.com/news/state-reg…

Keeping them honest! #NeLeg #SOSne The money isn’t magical … somebody has to make up for lost revenue and it won’t be the well to do. The costs will hurt the lowest income people the most through regressive taxes, higher sales taxes, less money for public services.

Cindy has a heart of gold and truly cares about Nebraskans. ♥️ She’s a hard, hard working volunteer for so many projects, too. And if you ever have questions about how the Unicameral works - she’s your girl! #NeLeg

The night isn't over, yet we've already collected HUNDREDS of signatures to get the repeal of LB753 on the ballot in the next election. Thanks to State Senator Frederickson, and Millard board members Amanda McGill Johnson and Lisa Schoenberger for coming out and signing! #neleg

Just to clarify, Senator Kathleen Kauth sits on the Nebraska Legislature Revenue Committee and confirms that LB753 diverts money from our state's General Funds.

Meanwhile, our Legislature and Governor focus on culture wars/*infringing* on parents rights. Other states working on solutions to attract growing, talented families: affordable housing, childcare, healthcare, and public education. How will Nebraska compete across Midwest? #neleg

'Vouchers can also increase the likelihood that students experience discrimination and harm...many voucher bills explicitly require families to waive students’ protections and rights under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act for educational services...'

In editorial, Lincoln Journal Star notes how Governor and Legislature gave NU less money than requested in a year of budget surpluses and a consistant refrain to 'keep young people' in the state.
