(KLZA)-- U.S. Senator Deb Fischer of Nebraska spent part of Tuesday in Southeast Nebraska with visits to Falls City, Auburn and Nebraska City.

During her stop in Falls City, Senator Fischer said that despite what you hear from the national media, things are getting done in Washington D.C.

Fischer noted the passage of a long-term highway bill, which is very important to Nebraska. The education bill, bringing more control to local districts and a bill to help reimburse local medical providers.

The Senator said that the topics that are brought up by constituents vary from stop to stop. The one item that does come up nearly every time is the state of the economy and concerns if families will be able to make it.
