Appleseed Statement on LB 947 Debate
Advancing the bill to Final Reading puts us one step closer to fully utilizing the skills and talents in our state
Today, Nebraska Appleseed Immigrants & Communities Director Darcy Tromanhauser issued the following statement on the Legislature’s vote to advance LB 947 to Final Reading:
“We applaud today’s vote, which moves talented young Nebraskans a step closer to being able to fully contribute their skills to Nebraska communities,” Tromanhauser said. “LB 947 would allow young people who have grown up in Nebraska to become part of the next generation of teachers, nurses, counselors, accountants, and many other careers that are important to every Nebraska community.”
