The clock is running out on Nebraska lawmakers to redraw the state’s political boundaries which could leave rural Nebraska with less representation.
Mark McHargue is President of the Nebraska Farm Bureau. “We have lost people in rural Nebraska,” he says. “The question is we could lose up to three and that’d be devastating and if we lose one, is that going to be the compromise or two? It’s kind of really about the number and that’s what everyone is vying for.”
Senators have until Saturday, according to the Legislature’s Speaker, to approve the maps.
