Last week Senator Ben Nelson made a caveat to voters in western Nebraska, telling a crowd at a town hall in Scottsbluff that he would like to see 65 Senators vote for any health care reform bill before it received his support. http://www.journalstar.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/article_013f0dc6...

While Americans for Prosperity-Nebraska supports bipartisan solutions to help make our health care system more patient-centered, it is wrong of Senator Nelson to predicate his support on the number of Senators instead of what ideas make the most sense.

Update from Brad Stevens:

In 2008 Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler ordered mandatory drug testing in response to two paramedics arrested on drug charges, but in exchange the Mayor gave into extreme staffing demands by the Fire Union.  This quid-pro-quo resulted in $380,000 in increased overtime costs that was not reported to the City Council.
