On Friday, Sept. 27, three brave landowners–Randy, Susan, Suz–have their day in court against the unconstitutional pipeline routing law. If the landowners win, TransCanada will have to submit their route to the Nebraska PSC for a full review. While we do not expect Judge Stacy to make a decision on Friday, we hope to see […]

The phone scandal of Rick Sheehy could be blown off as another politician taking advantage of his role and being plain stupid. However, Governor Heineman has a major role in this current mess. Heineman is the leader of our state. Rick Sheehy was his right-hand guy. If you did not know what was happening right […]

Gov. Heineman just performed one of the biggest flip-flops in Nebraska political history. He approved the pipeline route that crosses the Aquifer after he asked President Obama to deny the route that crossed the Aquifer. Heineman turned his back on landowners and citizens who asked for an unbiased review of the risks of this pipeline. […]

On Jan. 29 we are holding a vigil outside of Governor Heineman’s mansion demanding he reject the risky TransCanada pipeline route.

In yesterday’s House markup meeting on Lee Terry’s pipeline bill, we noticed that Rep. Terry liked to mention how the NRDC and Sierra Club asked President Obama to stop Keystone XL. But Terry nevers mentions that thousands of Nebraskans and our own Governor Heineman also asked the President to deny the permit. Terry’s selective memory […]

It was day six of the special session, and still no sign of Governor Heineman. There was no word from him on a bill that would give his office siting authority or any of the bills for that matter. If we needed a sign that the governor does not take this special session seriously, this […]
