While at the State Central Committee Mr Warren's candidacy was announced. It appears now this was not to be the case. In any event I do want to say this is exactly what is great about America, the freedom of choice.
To you sir I tip my hat.

Education, Policy, and Taxes
As I commented earlier, Look Out for Legacy Legislation and now we see the Legislature is at it again, creating ANOTHER tax draining entity!
Should some members of the Legislature’s Education Committee have their way, a state commission would take over planning and ensure implementation of statewide testing of public school students. LB987, introduced by Lincoln Sen. Ron Raikes, would create the Quality Education Accountability Commission to ensure statewide testing, reporting, upgrading of standards and tracking of student achievement, put into law last year. It would also create a "quality education accountability office" that would be under the auspices of the governor.
I will post excerpts of this legislation in a comment.
Who is going to pay for this? Will the legislation cull out the required funding for this new office from the State Education funding?

Promises, Taxes, and Policy
With the start of this year's Legislative Session I'm concerned with last gasp efforts of some term-limited Senators. We have already seen what can happen when individuals (e.g. the debacle of the "Learning Community") put forward Legacy building Legislation.
Nebraska is already the 6th most tax burdened state and now there is another entity who will be reaching into our pockets!

With the election cycle in full swing you will be hearing many Proposed Programs aiming at making some part of our lives better. However, will those that propose these programs ever say how they are going to pay for it? No! So when you hear one, and they don't say what is not going to be funded, you can rest assured it will result in an increase in YOUR taxes!
As your representative in the Legislature I will demand new programs show where they propose to cut existing programs to pay for themselves. For programs already in place I will scrutinize them for opportunities to cut costs when they submit their budget requests. I have done this at the Federal level and will bring my experience to the Legislature.
I believe conservative spending policies are the key to holding taxes in check and reducing them.
