Nebraska's Business & Labor Committee held a joke of a public hearing for Senator Steve Lathrop's CIR "reform" bill on April 13th, 2011. Taxpayers and those in opposition of this bill that increases the jurisdiction of the CIR were filibustered by liberal Senator Burke Harr.
Senator Burke Harr rudely drilled Omaha Alliance for the Private Sector, Dave Nabity.
The entire hearing was mishandled under the tired pro-union anti-taxpayer leadership of Omaha Senator Steve Lathrop.
Harr seems to forget that this public hearing originated because the Business and Labor committee tried to get Ashfords LB397 pushed through and with no transparency and accountability, AND the attendees were the ones supposed to ask the questions and the committee were the ones supposed to provide the answers. Typical of how this committee has been acting about the CIR.

This is enlightening. Burke Harr is an ass.
