(KLZA)--With the 90-day Nebraska legislative session getting closer to the end, First District State Senator Julie Slama told constituents in Falls City Monday that she will be arguing against those wanting to repeal the death penalty in the state.
The Senator said she believes voters in Nebraska were loud and clear in voting to reinstate the death penalty after the Legislature abolished it previously.
The freshman Senator from Peru is expecting quite a bit of debate on other major topics as the session starts to wind down. In addition to property taxes, topics including redistricting, legalizing gambling and medical marijuana will possibly make it to the floor for debate and action.
Senator Slama spoke to a group of constituents at the Falter Museum Monday morning.
