Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Lynne Walz says the state is “bleeding” financially after using cash funds and reserves to close a major budget shortfall.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly says Kansas faced a similar fiscal crisis — but today has a $2 billion rainy-day fund, has paid down debt, fully funds schools and transportation, and has cut taxes.

Can Nebraska do the same?

Watch this preview from my exclusive conversation with Gov. Laura Kelly and Lynne Walz.

The full interview premieres Monday, Aug. 31 on The Dan Parsons Show.

Sara Kohen, candidate for Nebraska’s OPPD Board, says households and small businesses shouldn’t have to subsidize massive data centers.

She maintains that these facilities should pay the full cost of the power generation, transmission lines, and infrastructure they require, while protecting clean air, water, and local communities.

Sara Kohen candidate for the Omaha Public Power District Board in District 1, joins the show to discuss why public power matters and what’s at stake for OPPD customers. We talk about the future of public power, data centers, renewable energy, grid reliability, and how board decisions shape affordability, economic development and Nebraska’s energy future.

Three Nebraska political stories you need to know today:

🌽 Are tariffs costing Nebraska farmers and businesses?

🗳️ Democrats are suing to keep the Working People Party off the ballot — while Republicans are fighting another new party.

⚖️ And a bipartisan challenge could determine whether the Respect Nebraska Voters initiative makes the November ballot.

Three stories. Three minutes. Nebraska in 3.

AI and data centers need enormous amounts of electricity — and Nebraska may have an advantage no other state can match.

Land. Wind. Sunshine. A central location. An established grid. And most importantly: a statewide public power system.

Could public power make Nebraska a winner in the AI economy?

From Why It Matters | The Dan Parsons Show.

#Nebraska #AI #DataCenters #PublicPower #Shorts

Google’s new Lincoln data center needs a staggering amount of electricity — including 423 megawatts of wind energy from Oklahoma.

But there’s more to the story.

Lincoln Electric System says Google is paying for the additional generation needed to serve the data center, rather than passing those costs along to ratepayers. And Google is expected to account for roughly 11% of LES retail revenue.

So the real question isn’t whether data centers are good or bad.

It’s this: How does Nebraska make the data center and AI boom work for all Nebraskans?

Nebraska is the only state in America served entirely by publicly owned electric utilities. As AI drives enormous new demand for electricity, that could give our state a unique economic advantage — if we get the deals right.

Who pays for new generation and transmission? What happens to electric rates? And if Nebraska’s public power becomes increasingly valuable to companies like Google, how do Nebraska ratepayers benefit?

That’s Why It Matters.

So what are petition circulators actually required to do?

Veteran Nebraska campaign manager Kate Wolfe breaks down the rules — including why a circulator is personally responsible for every petition sheet and the signatures collected on it.

“Know the law. Follow the law.”

Are Republicans losing their traditional stronghold on the economy? 📉

Political strategist Ryan Horn breaks down why voters are noticing a major shift in fiscal responsibility. With inflation concerns rising, many are asking if the GOP is still the “lower spending party” they claim to be, and polls are starting to show Democrats taking the lead on economic trust.

Watch to find out why this economic shift is happening! 👇

Longtime political consultant Kate Wolfe joins the show to break down the alleged petition fraud tied to Good Government Lincoln’s failed city charter initiative effort. Drawing on her experience managing statewide petition campaigns, Wolfe explains how legitimate signature collection and verification should work, where she believes this effort may have broken down, and why the unusually high rejection rate raised immediate red flags. We also discuss paid and out-of-state circulators, Nebraska’s history of petition law changes, calls for new restrictions, and whether the current system actually failed… or worked exactly as intended.⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
