Unpacking the Unicameral with Cindy Maxwell-Ostdiek, Week 14
Description
On today's episode, we celebrate the victory of the Winner Take All bill being rejected. This bill would have drastically changed Nebraska's electoral process, and we're relieved that it won't be moving forward. We'll discuss the potential implications of this bill and why it was so important to defeat it.
We'll also discuss Senator Victor Rountree's bill, which aims to lift the lifetime ban on public food assistance for Nebraskans convicted of drug felonies. This is a crucial piece of legislation that could significantly impact the lives of many Nebraskans who are struggling to get back on their feet after a conviction.
In addition to these two major topics, we'll also cover other bills from last week and give you a preview of what's to come next week in the Nebraska legislature.
