- Non-Profit
In 46 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, lawmakers provide an online recording archive of their legislative proceedings.
Nebraska is one of just a handful of states that isn’t offering this resource.
I’m tempted to say this is such an obvious error, that almost everybody would agree this situation should be changed. But our state has had the technology to make these recordings available to Nebraskans for quite some time, and it hasn’t proactively happened on its own.
Tune into the latest episode of Nebraskanomics, 3 Reasons to Post Nebraska Legislature Videos Online. In this episode, I’m urging the Unicameral to join the rest of the country in posting its recordings online for everyone to see and share for the following reasons.
Nebraskans have no idea what’s going on. (3:32)
Withholding legislative videos deprives Nebraskans and their leaders of history and institutional knowledge. (8:48)
The state legislative process provides an alternative to nationalized political debate. (11:39)
Concerned Nebraskans can’t let up on this issue until the job is done.
