Update from Senator Mike Jacobson

Week of May 8, 2022 As a life-long farmer, I tend to mark the passing of time in growing seasons. Spring is typically a time for new beginnings, but in the past few years it has been a time of adversity for many Nebraskans.

Pieces of Me

Gini Corbin did a much better job filling this space with Pioneer Memorial Rest Home’s Happenings on the Hill news than I will. But more than one person has asked me what I’m going to do with the back page of the paper now that our nursing home is closed and I guess, here you have it.

Dave Says

Dear Dave, Do you have any advice on how to start a car wash and detailing business? What things should I consider first, and what do I keep in mind over the long run? Andrew Dear Andrew, I’m excited for you, man! And I love your ambitious spirit.

Pieces of Me

They say you become a lot like the people you spend time with. If that’s true, I hope I absorbed as much as I possibly could from the crowd I hung around this past weekend. For the first time since 2019, we got to hold the Nebraska Press Association Convention in person.

Update from Senator Mike Jacobson

Now that the 107th Legislature has adjourned sine die, I want to shift the focus of my articles to assisting the residents of District 42 on ways that can take advantage of the benefits created by some of the bills that passed the Legislature this past year.

Dave Says

Dear Dave, My younger brother and his wife did their taxes last month and learned they owe $15,000 to the IRS. I love them both, but they are extremely irresponsible with money. I know they have a lot of credit card debt, too.

Happenings on the Hill

The final chapter! Almost 20 years ago I was approached by Dee Arends, Marian Nutter and Charlene Erny about taking a CNA class in North Platte. It was completely out of my comfort zone and after a lot of thinking, I decided to do it. They must have seen something in me that I didn’t.

Dave Says

Dear Dave, A relative of mine recently mentioned she had two life insurance policies. Is it okay for a person to have more than one life insurance policy? If so, why would someone do that? Victoria Dear Victoria, There aren’t any rules against having more than one life insurance policy.

Happenings on the Hill

We hope you had a great Easter! We really enjoyed the day. Steve Springer came and ate with Twila and Pat and Gary Schwaderer and Crystal Hessin came and ate with Ann. We enjoyed a delicious Easter lunch prepared by Crystal and Marie.

From the Legislative Desk of Senator Mike Jacobson

April 18, 2022 The Nebraska Legislature will hold its last day of session on Wednesday, April 20. It seems all short-session years are hectic, but with available funds in the state’s Cash Reserve and $1.04 billion in federal dollars to appropriate, this session has been particularly frenzied.
