Issues: Death Penalty
This afternoon, Governor Pete Ricketts issued a statement following the Legislature's decision to repeal the death penalty in Nebraska.
"My words cannot express how appalled I am that we have lost a critical tool to protect law enforcement and Nebraska families," said Governor Ricketts. "While the Legislature has lost touch with the citizens of Nebraska, I will continue to stand with Nebraskans and law enforcement on this important issue."
