Gubernatorial candidate Jim Pillen was in Broken Bow today (Thursday, April 15, 2021).
The Republican candidate introduced himself to several community members during a lunch at the One Box Convention Center. He said his reason for tossing his hat into the ring is his love of Nebraska. âI absolutely love Nebraska. I love the people of Nebraska. I believe itâs the best place in the world to live.â
Asked to prioritize issues facing Nebraska, he said property taxes are at the top of the list. âEqual to that is workforce development,â Pillen said and added the third priority would be to âlift up the bottom half of the team,â noting that about half of Nebraska high school seniors graduate without skill training. The arch over all of that, he said, is Defending agriculture with every step, with every breath.
