Governor starts off by saying this is about LB 556, which calls for changes to juvenile courts. It's about putting children in prison, changing the age of detention from 13 to 11, among other changes.

I was fired when the new Governor brought in a new CEO for our State of Nebraska Agency. I fully believe, as do others, it was in large part because I am an out and vocal Democrat. None of this is normal or should ever become so. Also, your vote is private!

Hardin won 28-21. Again, several defectors from his own party, which gives water to the idea that’s been buzzing the Capitol that the Legislature is a little more moderate than before.
