New business in Angora first in over fifty years
New business in Angora first in over fifty years
There’s a new business in town, and it’s not on Main Street in Bridgeport.Tacking Up Custom Creations is the idea conceived by Shane and Shelly Varner and brought to life in what was once the bustling little town of Antelope Hill.When the CB&Q Railroad set up the Denver- Alliance branch in 1900, the town’s name was changed to Angora, and it was filled with businesses, farms, and families for over a hundred years.The tiny spot on the map was the perfect place for Shane and Shelly to settle and build their life together. 10/19/2023 03:00 AM

Next steps for the House of Representatives
Next steps for the House of Representatives
This week, the House was set to continue its work on the twelve annual appropriations bills to ensure the government is responsibly funded. Unfortunately, our legislative work to cut wasteful spending was disrupted when a small handful of Republicans voted with Democrats to remove the Speaker of the House. I voted against vacating the chair because it sets a disruptive precedent and because the House should be focused on delivering results for the American people. House Republicans already have a record of success in the 118th Congress, and I believe we should be building on that record as a team united, not fighting amongst ourselves. It’s unfortunate we are in this position, but we must come together, elect a new speaker, and get back to doing the People’s business. I thank former Speaker Kevin McCarthy for his service and will continue speaking with my colleagues and Nebraskans as I consider which of my House Republican colleagues would most effectively lead the House as Speaker. 10/12/2023 03:00 AM
