Happenings on the Hill

Greetings. We hope all is going well. The last week of March. Crazy to think that Easter is this Sunday. Don’t forget that we will be having our Easter egg hunt this Friday, April 2 at 2:00 p.m. MT for ages 0-6 years old. We hope to see everyone. The residents are so excited.

Dear Dave, My wife and I are having a financial disagreement. I would like to go ahead and fully fund our Roth IRAs, even though we have about $10,000 in car loan debt. She, on the other hand, thinks we should pay off the debt first. We can probably have either one completed by the end of the year.

Greetings to all! We hope everyone has had a great week! It’s crazy to think that one year ago everything changed and turned our lives upside down. And maybe it didn’t turn everyone’s lives upside down, but it sure did change a lot for us up here.

Dear Dave, Why do you seem to put so much emphasis on teaching young children about money? Isn’t there time for that later when they’re older?

Wow what a beautiful first week of March. I know that this week it is supposed to cool down, but we have really enjoyed the sunshine and fresh air.

Dear Dave, Do you think I should get a new hybrid car to save money on gas? A lot of my friends have done this, and with the rise in gas and oil prices lately, they’re telling me I should, too.

Greetings to all. We hope you have had a great week. We have kept busy with our daily activities and visits. We can’t wait to watch some state basketball these next two weeks.

Update from Senator Tom Brewer, 43rd District

02-26-2021 Last year, we saw nearly a dozen Nebraska counties join a growing movement across the country to announce that they are “Second Amendment Sanctuary’’ counties. While those resolutions send an important message, unfortunately they do not have much direct legal impact.

Dear Dave, My husband started working at a new company about a year ago. As part of his sign on, they gave him $5,000 in company stock. The stock has nearly doubled in value since then, and we were wondering if we should buy more, considering how well it has done.
