Heineman stands by his letter, Board approves resolution

Governor Dave Heineman says that he disagrees with criticism over his letter to education leaders urging them to call for repeal of federal health care reform.

The Board has approved a resolution in support of repealing the health care law.

“The question is who is willing to stand up publicly and I am willing to stand up publicly and say it ought to be education first, and I would hope education leaders agree with that ’cause otherwise their going to have a tough debate in the legislature.”

The Nebraska Board of education is agreeing with Heineman in their approval of the resolution.
