The Story: A contract given to Global Sustainability Developers (GSD) was flagged as “suspect” by State Auditor Mike Foley.
The Controversy: The state bypassed the $50k bid law by calling it an “emergency” (for bioeconomy consulting 🤔).
The Twist: The Nebraska State Patrol stepped aside, citing a “potential conflict of interest,” leaving the Lincoln Police Department in charge. Plus, there are allegations of backdating documents.
Is this “moving at the speed of business,” or a case of favoring an insider? 🧐
Why the Broadway Musical SUFFS Is More Important Than Ever
Broadway actor Marya Grandy and the Lied Center’s Executive Director Bill Stephan join the show to discuss Suffs, the Tony Award-winning musical about the women who fought for the right to vote. We explore the overlooked history behind the suffrage movement, the show’s modern political resonance, and why its message about activism, democracy, and persistence still feels urgent today.
Suffs will play May 5-10, 2026, at the Lied Center for Performing Arts, find ticket information at liedcenter.org
