Filibuster kills proposed tax credits for wind farms, other renewable energy facilities

LINCOLN — A bill that would have provided Nebraska’s first-ever production tax credits for wind farms and other renewable energy facilities died Tuesday in the face of a filibuster.
Backers could only muster 30 votes on a motion to end the filibuster and proceed with second-round consideration of Legislative Bill 423. The motion needed 33 votes to succeed.
State Sen. Jeremy Nordquist of Omaha, who introduced LB 423, expressed disappointment about the outcome of the vote.
“This was a decision today that’s going to have negative consequences long-term for the state,” he said. “It’s a decision that my daughter’s generation is going to be paying the cost for.”

State Senator Nordquist is a rising D star in Nebraska. He used the petition process last year to raise the minimum wage after the legislature turned it down.

Bottom line is that they are un-American shits who work for the rich and they
only way the win elections by cheating, gerrymandering, lying, scaring people,
working some people's bigotry, and the blond haired blue eyed Jesus who hates
gay people and helping the poor.
