Incumbent Rep. Lee Terry took the first swing in the election against Tom White for Nebraska’s Congressional seat that covers Omaha and the surrounding areas.  As a 12-year incumbent who promised only to serve 6 years, you would think Terry wouldn’t have to take the first swing… but Terry knows he is in trouble so […]

At a press conference today, the Governor railed against health care reform and Nebraska’s share of Medicaid costs.  He reiterated a favorite conservative phrase “unfunded mandate,” complaining about the estimated $526-$766 million […]
