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? 🧐

Retired U.S. Navy veteran and Democratic congressional candidate Kishla Askins returns to the show to discuss the escalating conflict in the Middle East and the role of Congress in authorizing military force. Askins, who served in combat roles in both Iraq and Afghanistan, shares her perspective on the strategic and constitutional questions surrounding the war. We also cover Askins’ campaign for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, including her proposals to address property taxes and strengthen Nebraska’s economy.
