Show Notes
Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen, despite recent ballot measure rejections, advocates for a budget using public funds for private school costs. He acknowledges his own lack of deep study on such issues and believes most voters do the same. Pillen criticizes the current ballot process, arguing it doesnt accurately reflect public opinion due to easy ballot access and lack of pushback. He opposes limits on campaign spending or paid signature collectors, favoring volunteer-driven efforts. With eleven petitions certified for the November 2026 ballot, covering various topics, Pillen faces a challenge as support for private school funding remains strong in western counties.
