Laws and Sausages: A Day At the State Capitol

Originally published February 11, 2011, By Shelli Dawdy. Updated February 11, 2011. 2 Comments

Norlyn wrote an excellent explanation about his impressions of Nebraska’s legislative process following time spent at the State Capitol this past Monday. The visit was motivated by concern about the issues associated with the CIR and the nine bills scheduled to be heard that day. Norlyn's article is very well written and an unfortunately accurate representation of the experience, and also unfortunately, all too-typical.

The Lincoln Journal Star printed it at as a Local View Column; bravo, Norlyn!
