More hours in the day is something that I oftentimes wish I had. My alarm goes off hours before I would like to be getting out of bed. It’s 5:00 p.m. already and I didn’t get as much work done as I needed to. It’s Monday and somehow my to-do list grew instead of shrank over the weekend.

Dear Dave, I was recently in a car accident that totaled my car. My old car was paid for, and the insurance company is writing it off and giving me $15,000. I’m a physical therapist who does home care treatment, so I need a reliable car for work.

If your career field puts on conventions like the Nebraska Press Association does for my career field, I highly recommend attending. Talk about a morale boost! I’m back from what my husband Dane called my “vacay.”

Update from Senator Mike Jacobson

This past week was another week filled with filibuster activity. We did, however, engage in some good debate on several issues, including bills related to school funding, abortion restrictions, and gender-affirming treatment for minors. We also began debate on some of the committee priority bills.

Dave Ramsey Dear Dave, I’m about to start paying off debt in Baby Step 2, but there’s a motorcycle loan my exgirlfriend took out for me. I crashed the motorcycle and sustained some injuries.

Update from Senator Mike Jacobson

Although the Legislature is still not moving at full speed, we have made some progress over the past week. Certainly, much time has been wasted with the ongoing filibusters, but we are still moving important bills forward that will benefit residents of District 42.

You all know I’m a lover of traditions and Easter is yet another time of year that many families have traditions.

Dave Says

Dear Dave, I’m thinking more seriously about buying a home in the next year or so. It seems like the housing market has cooled off a bit, so I am also planning to get a secured credit card to help me rebuild my credit score in the meantime.

Yikes! Last week hit and all of a sudden I feel like I’m strapped into a roller coaster holding on for dear life. I’ll celebrate 15 years of owning the Tribune this summer but in January it was 15 years that I’ve been working here and each spring (and November and December) it’s the same.

Update from Senator Mike Jacobson

I continue to get emails for many constituents asking why the Nebraska Legislature is unable to get anything done. Given the lack of progress over the first 54 session days, it is a very legitimate question.
