Amid continuing Capitol remodeling and a lingering Covid-19 pandemic, lawmakers have returned to Lincoln for the Second Session of the 107th Legislature.
I always look forward to reconnecting at Christmas with family and friends in one of America’s most beautiful places – the Nebraska panhandle.

The second session of the 107th Legislature has already begun and new bills are now being introduced. Although new bills may only be introduced within the first ten legislative days of the session, I expect approximately 500 new bills to be introduced this year. Many of these bills will likely venture outside of the scope of what good government ought to do. Therefore, today I would like to remind my readers about what good government is supposed to do.
