I started out last week, perhaps feeling a bit radical, urging people around the country to support this Libertarian state senator from Nebraska, Laura Ebke and now there are more reasons to support her. First, her seminal occupational licensing bill was signed by Governor Ricketts. Here is the report from the Institute for Justice: Nebraska […]
