Example of Nebraska's early ed crisis: A provider in Overton, pop. 595, is running out of funds. It has no chamber of commerce & few businesses to partner with. Grants are written & fundraisers are launched but the $ isn't enough. If it shuts down, parents don't get child care.
Gilliam, executive director of the Buffett Institute, said a preliminary survey of thousands of child care providers across the U.S. shows that the number two reason providers are leaving early childhood education is because of a lack of respect.
“Let’s stop admiring the problem!” Up next at #ThrivingChildren2023 a keynote panel to discuss not just the existence of the child care crisis, but how we can solve it.
Consider this -- Teachers are making an average of $3,644 less per year than they did 10 years ago when adjusted for inflation, according to @wallethub The personal finance website ranks Nebraska 27th best state for teachers in new ranking.
#Nebraska voters will likely decide the fate of the tax break for scholarships to private K-12 schools. Support Our Schools said it had gathered 117k signatures, nearly double the 60k needed to get onto the 2024 ballot.

TWEEPS: The things that matter to most Americans are kitchen table issues, especially the cost of healthcare. Thanks to President Biden, I'm paying $12 bucks for my diabetes AND cholesterol medication!
Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies with #DemocratsLowerDrugCosts to get it trending?
Please and thank you! 🙏💪
Tucker Carlson will get really mad if you RT this email showing how he begged Hunter Biden to use his connections to help get his son into an elite Washington university
#Nebraska says it will use pandemic funds to backfill the up to $2 million in costs of Gov. Jim Pillen deploying the National Guard this month to the #Texas border with Mexico. Some say that money should be spent in the state.
My latest for @NE_Examiner:

The head of a Homeland Security task force in Seward County — the outfit that is seizing millions from motorists, sometimes using civil asset forfeiture — is a fired Georgia state trooper now barred from becoming a Nebraska police officer.
Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama has a blockade in place blocking 300 military promotions.
This affects America's military readiness AND national security, but he disagrees.
Let's see how many RTs we can get to send that moron a clear message. #EndTheBlockade
Me: How much does the military spend on Viagra each year?
Director of Defense Contracts: I don’t have that figured out.
Me: about $41.6 million.
Do you know how many bridges in my District of Pittsburgh could be repaired with that amount?
Kudos to the NE Dept of Environment & Energy, which won prestigious Golden Padlock Award on Saturday for trying to charge @flatwaterfreep $44,103.11 for public record request.
It’s tops at keeping public info away from prying eyes of public. Congrats NDEE!

Senator Linehan called our campaign to allow Nebraskans to vote on her voucher scheme, "SILLY."
Well, we do have tank tops available for purchase with @RAYGUNshirts
Is that silly?

These are the pages of my inaugural poem that an objecting parent cited as "not educational and have indirectly hate messages". And now because of that one complaint, my poem is now banned for elementary school students at a school in @MiamiDadeCounty.
