Nebraska Congressman Honors Governor Heineman

01/05/2015

(KLZA)-- Recently Nebraska Third District Congressman Adrian Smith took time to honor Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman for his service to Nebraska. Following is the text from his speech.

“I rise today to recognize the public service of Dave Heineman – Nebraska’s longest serving Governor.

More important than his time in office is what he has accomplished. He has kept our state prosperous by supporting agriculture, opening new trade offices, reforming economic development incentives, and improving education through greater local control.

He has also been an ally of taxpayers, by keeping our budget balanced and advocating tax reform.

Under his watch, Nebraska consistently ranks among the best states to live, work, do business, and raise a family.

I am thankful for Governor Heineman’s leadership and service. I join all Nebraskans in wishing him and his wife, Sally Ganem, Godspeed as they embark on the next chapter of their lives.”

Heineman will conclude his 10 years as Governor in January. Heineman was born in Falls City.
