John,

The Legislature recently passed LB 1073 which would require Gov. Pete Ricketts to seek out a second round of Emergency Rental Assistance (ERAP) funds from the federal government.

Gov. Ricketts vetoed this bill and sent a clear message: Nebraska will never become a welfare state under his watch.

Two years ago, the COVID-19 pandemic rocked our economy and forced many workers to stay at home. Emergency rental assistance made sense during this crisis, but the emergency is over. People are back at work – and continuing to fund rent payments through the federal government would only lead us down a slippery slope toward socialism.

Gov. Ricketts was 100% right to veto this dangerous legislation, and he needs your support. Please click the link below to let your State Senator know that you stand with the Governor and support his veto of LB 1073. Ask them to sustain it!
