Tomorrow is Election day

My perspective on Tuesday's election in Nebraska from the angle of economic development in rural Nebraska. Governor's race: We need a Governor that prioritizes rural economic development. We shouldn't be operating under the assumption that many small, rural towns in Nebraska will inevitably die. Chuck Hassebrook has a record of working to improve life in rural Nebraska through his work at the Center For Rural Affairs. Many of the business grants and incentives available to small businesses in Nebraska have come about through the efforts of the Center. Pete Ricketts has been the head of of an organization that proposed consolidating school district and counties in rural Nebraska. Which candidate do I trust to look out for the interests of the citizens of Bancroft and Cuming County? My friend for over 20 years- Chuck Hassebrook.
