I had the opportunity this week to appoint Nebraska’s next U.S. Senator, former Governor Pete Ricketts. Only five times in our state’s history has a Governor had this privilege. The process was not one that I took lightly. More than 110 applications were received, and nine candidates interviewed – all individuals who are accomplished and respected by Nebraskans across our state.

Just two weeks from the start of tax filing season, an efficient and functioning Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has never been more important.
