How Did Your Senator Vote? |
|
While some important issues come to a clear up-or-down in the
Legislature, in many cases key bills never come to a vote because
they are held in committee. At times we must use other indicators,
like which Senators signed on to particularly bad -- or good --
Legislation.

2010 Federation Priority Legislation |
|
|
River Flows: We
opposed LB 438, introduced in 2009, that would have severely
weakened Nebraska's instream flow law. The following 18 Senators
co-sponsored the bill:
Fischer (primary sponsor), Carlson, Christensen, Coash, Dierks,
Flood, Giese, Hadley, Hansen, Lautenbaugh, McCoy, Pankonin, Rogert,
Schilz, Stuthman, Sullivan, Utter, Wightman.
|
Held in Natural Resources Committee |
| River Flows: We supported LB
1025, which would have streamlined the process used to
acquire an
in-stream flow water right.
Senator Avery sponsored the bill.
The following Senators on
the Natural Resources committee voted to kill the bill: Carlson,
Cook, Dubas, Fischer, Haar, Langemeier, McCoy, Schilz.

Killed by Natural Resources Committee |
| Niobrara Council: We opposed
LB 666, introduced in 2009, which would have stripped the
Niobrara Council of most of its authority. The following Senators
co-sponsored the bill:
Langemeier (primary
sponsor), Carlson, Christensen, Dierks, Giese, Hadley, Hansen,
Lautenbaugh, McCoy, Pankonin, Price, Rogert, Schilz, Stuthman,
Utter, Wightman.

Deer Management: We opposed
the original LB 836, which would have allowed landowners to shoot deer without
regard to hunting seasons and would have put
in place a bounty on deer through a $25 per head. The bill's
sponsors were:
Lautenbaugh (primary sponsor), Janssen.

Substantially amended in committee, amended bill was enacted |
