Louisville does well at...
SKILLS USA
All together there were 50 students who attended the SkillsUSA State Leadership and Skills Conference in Hastings. Highlights from the conference was when Louisville received two awards. One was the 100% chapter award. This award is given to chapters who have all students enrolled in SkillsUSA. Louisville has all students who are in Industrial technology classes, members for the 2010-2011 school year. Only two school in the state received the award. Louisville was one.
The second award Louisville received was the Chapter Builder Award. This award is given to the chapter which has the largest member increase from the previous year. Each chapter in the state is eligible to receive this award based on it's membership. Louisville had an increase of 22 new members for the 2010-2011 school year, and has a total of 64 student members in our chapter.
Another note of recognition is that sophomore Konner Lamb will be representing Louisville High School as a SkillsUSA Nebraska State Officer. Each year SkillsUSA members can run for state office. There are seven offices that are available each year to campaign for. To run for office, Konner had to give a speech in front of delegates, have a question and answer session and also campaign during the conference. Konner will serve a one year term. His duties will include going to the SkillsUSA National conference in Kansas City as a voting delegate for Nebraska, he, along with the other state officers will plan and coordinate conferences throughout the year and act as ambassadors for SkillsUSA across Nebraska.
Finally, freshman Tucker Sjogren will be representing Louisville and Nebraska at the National Skills and Leadership Conference in June, held in Kansas City. Tucker was awarded 1st place in the pluming contest. Tucker's contest required him to install a sink, PVC pipe, a toilet and solder copper pipe which was pressure tested for leaks. Tucker competed against 10 other students from across the state.

April 29, 2011, Lincoln— The 49 people who serve in the Nebraska Legislature are state senators. This means they are collectively responsible for creating laws and policies for the entire state of Nebraska. However, each of the 49 senators also represents a geographic region of the state and the people who live there. While my fellow senators and I must always keep in mind what is best for our state as a whole, we are most directly influenced by the needs of our own legislative district. This reality frequently guides my thoughts and actions.
This year I sought a new way to vote for the needs of District 2 at the committee level, as well as on the floor of the legislature. I knew major tax proposals, such as the much-discussed roads funding plan, would come before the Revenue Committee, and they would certainly impact our legislative district. Increased long-term roads funding is critical for District 2. District 43 Senator Deb Fischer, primary sponsor of the roads funding proposal LB 84, and I collaborated in a joint effort to be seated as new members of the Revenue Committee. Senator Fischer and I helped to move LB 84 to the floor for debate by the legislature.
In my first four years as a state senator, many proposals I introduced were prompted by District 2 constituents. The tradition continued this year with themes such as economic development, elections, commercial licensing requirements and user fees. LB 213 is the third bill I have sponsored for Heritage Nebraska and the Main Street Program. All of the bills focused on the need to maintain the Program’s small but vital state appropriation. The effort this year was the most urgent, because the Department of Economic Development and the Legislature’s Appropriations Committee both deleted the Program’s funding from their budget proposals. At the hearing on LB 213, the Committee was reminded of Nebraska’s long standing commitment to this Program. In the past year alone, 111 new jobs and 29 new businesses were created on Nebraska’s Main Streets. Committee members were reminded of Main Streets in their own legislative districts, and the fact that $16.42 is re-invested in the community for every dollar spent to operate a local program. I hope when the Committee’s budget proposal is advanced to the floor later this month, it will include the funding proposed by LB 213 for Heritage Nebraska and the Main Street Program.
I introduced LB 214 to require nonpartisan ballots for election of county and city officials. The request to place this issue before a legislative committee was brought to me by District 2 residents, who want to vote in every election and would enjoy the opportunity to vote for the person whom they believe to be the best candidate. Some local officials in Nebraska, including incumbents at the county level, echoed the same desire for change. On a personal note, I have run in nine primary and general elections. Each time I was elected on a nonpartisan ballot.
People who were interested in this issue observed that political party affiliation has less bearing on local offices which are often administrative or ministerial. In places where one party has an overwhelming registration advantage, the partisan primary becomes the only election that matters. This puts many people in the position of having no real voice in the election or requires them to change party affiliation in order to vote. This disingenuous change in party affiliation is not based on political philosophy, but rather on getting around an election law simply to be able to vote. While LB 214 focused on elections for county and city offices, District 41 Senator Kate Sullivan introduced LB 186 to require nonpartisan elections for county offices. LB 186 reflected discontent with an election outcome in Senator Sullivan’s district. Constituents in Districts 2 and 41 requested these election law changes, and their senators responded. The Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee held hearings on LBs 214 and 186 on the same day. The Committee is still considering the fate of the proposals, although it seems unlikely that they will be advanced to the full legislature.
I appreciate the opportunity you have given me to represent District 2 in the Nebraska Legislature.
