    Letter: Two sides to every coin

    Letter: Two sides to every coin

    Although I disagree with some of Gov. Pillen's decisions, I do agree with him on vouchers for private schools. If all of the parents of private school kids stopped paying all taxes to the state of Nebraska, income, property, sales, tobacco, gas, etc. I wonder how fast the public school parents would start complaining about shouldering the extra money they would have to pay to support Nebraska. There are two sides to every coin.

    Letter: Anderson supports people over politics

    Letter: Anderson supports people over politics

    Kristen Anderson is the best candidate for the Lancaster County Clerk of Court. I've known Kristen for eight years through the nonpartisan Lincoln Lancaster League of Women Voters. Kristen is bright, personable and hardworking as demonstrated by her work as the deputy director of the Lancaster Treasurer's Office. In that capacity she supported staff and the public. This was evidenced by improvements at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Kristen goes out of her way to help people. To her the work is not just a job, it's a calling. We need to elect candidates like Kristen who will support people over politics.

    2027 NFL mock draft: Arch Manning, Jeremiah Smith headline way-too-early projections

    I don’t buy the idea of a “weak” draft class. Every draft gives 32 teams a chance to get younger, cheaper and better: the holy trinity of roster building. The board may not be overflowing with blue-chippers. The depth may get uncomfortable by Saturday afternoon. But every team in the NFL still gets three days to find starters, role players and cap relief. It’s almost impossible to leave the ...
