Update from Senator Jacobson

Nebraskaland Days is in full swing, and once again, the region is playing host to many visitors who travel from all over to be a part of the festivities. I was really pleased that Governor Pillen chose to host one of his property tax task force meetings here in North Platte.

I’m fairly certain our family’s minivan could back out of our driveway on its own for how many times we’ve been in and out of the garage with it this summer - and summer vacation isn’t quite half over yet.

Update from Senator Jacobson

This week marks the beginning of Nebraskaland Days, Nebraska’s official statewide celebration. Since its inception in 1968, North Platte has been the site for this annual celebration that attracts visitors from all over the world.

I was just getting ready to put my fingers to the keyboard to fill this space when Ralph Miller and I started talking about this photo I took of his property on Memorial Day.The poppies in the yard were amazing this year!

Dear Dave, We sold our rental property recently. When we bought it, we thought it would be a good source of passive income. But owning it wasn’t passive at all. It got to the point where the work and hassle became too much. We have $240,000 from the sale, and we’re debt-free except for our home.

It’s alumni weekend here in Mullen! Whether you are Mullen High School alumni or not, there are activities planned for everyone Friday-Sunday.Always the second weekend in June, I love how big of a deal alumni is here. My husband’s high school doesn’t do anything with alumni.

Before moving to legislative issues, I wanted to first mention that Julie and I took the time to attend the first annual Boots n’ Beef Music Festival at Pals Brewing Company south of North Platte last week. What a great event!

Dave Says

Dear Dave, My husband and I have been very blessed financially over the course of our lives. We make a little over $200,000 a year combined, and we currently have a net worth of around $4 million.But what do you do when you’re not motivated by that kind of thing anymore?

It’s been a while since I shared a recipe in this space - probably because it’s been a while since I had time to do any extra baking.My time in the kitchen for months has been the bare minimum, but I was able to spend an afternoon baking over the weekend, which was literally food for my soul.

Update from Senator Jacobson

On Monday, we had the opportunity to observe another Memorial Day and pay our respects to all those men and women who gave their lives for our country while serving in the armed services. This is also a time when we can personally reach out to thank all of our Gold Star Families.
