Electric vehicle mandates increase safety risks

Body
On April 17, 2021, firefighters raced to extinguish a blaze in a suburb of Houston, Texas. A Tesla Model S crashed, killing two people, and burst into flames. The Woodlands Township Fire Department extinguished the fire. But shortly after, flames erupted again. They put it out a second time — only for the car to reignite once more. The fire chief compared the Tesla to “a trick birthday candle.” Once you blow it out, you never know when it will flare back up.

Letter to the Editor

Body
To the Community of Oxford that we serve and love, We at the Golden Generation Center have had many questions and comments regarding our funding and our Nebraska Sate requirements recently so we felt it would be good to put out some information regarding these inquiries. So many people seem to have misinformation about our funding, payments, and who can eat with us daily that our center doesn’t get utilized to its full potential. We would like to help the community understand some of these gray areas a bit more clearly.

Every child deserves an opportunity

Body
As the chair of the Education Committee in the Nebraska Legislature, I’ve always been a major believer in public schools. I believe firmly that every K-12 aged child in our state deserves access to a well-funded, competitive, safe education. I also believe that every family has unique needs and values in which a one-size-fits-all approach may not always be best. Because of this, I also support increasing school choice in the State of Nebraska.
