The Race for District 3

Hello to one and all, and Welcome!

This past weekend was full of events from Gretna to Bellevue. I was able to take in two great firework shows, eat BBQ for most meals, participate in the Gretna Parade, and more importantly meet many wonderful people in district 3. I look forward to meeting and speaking with as many of you as I can as the the campaign rolls on to the General Election November 4th.

My Platform

As your representative in the State Legislature I will bring my proven work ethic, and common sense to Lincoln. I am willing to listen, and to work to understand the issues at hand.

I believe the strength of our state is in its people. I believe that good government should guarantee to its individuals equality before the law

I believe that government should promote the health, welfare, and safety of the individual and that government’s proper function is to do only those things which individuals cannot do for themselves.

My parents, teachers, and coaches instilled the desire to work hard and take pride in a job well done. 20 years service in the United States Air Force further solidified the importance of dedication and devotion to something larger than myself.

I am a conservative and believe in the importance of individual rights and of limited government.

With these principles, I believe I am the candidate for people who desire a positive and responsive government at the state level.

UPDATE OMAHA Land Grab

UPDATE

I sent an email to Senator Nelson and he has already replied. Here is a copy of his comments to me.

Scott,

I think a general misunderstand about LB 1166 exists. No cities would be in danger of annexation by Omaha if LB 1166 passes. The area that will have the potential for annexation will be unincorporated areas adjacent to the city of Omaha.

Thank you,
John Nelson

I believe it will be very important to keep an eye on the bill so it doesn't end up amended to something more. I do want to say Sen. Nelson's email was a pleasant surprise and I did say as much in my reply to him. Next to Senator Cornett he is one of the most responsive legislators to date.


******
Citizens,

We have yet another Legacy Bill laid at out feet by Senator John Nelson.

He has proposed LEGISLATIVE BILL 1166. Introduced by Nelson, 6.
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to cities of the metropolitan class; to amend
section 14-117, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2006; to provide
for the extension of corporate limits into an adjoining county; and to repeal
the original section.

This will let BIG cities grab land over county lines!

The legislature took away rural schools, forced the Learning community on Sarpy County, and now they want to take the cities too! In this Learning Community bill we have seen how our representation has been ineffective in achieving the overwhelming will of the district.

Sen Nelson was elected in 2006 and represents Omaha.
