From my senator - Thank you for your email. I have served in the Legislature now for 4 years and have gone through 2 cycles of electing legislative leadership. I think the secret ballot is the best way to elect the chairs within the Unicameral. It allows a legislator to vote independently for the best person he or she believes will do the best job as the chair. Just as all citizens are afforded a confidential ballot when we go to the polls, so too should Nebraska senators keep the secret ballot for leadership positions to protect the integrity of the process. All other votes a senator makes on bills, amendments, motions, rules, etc. are public votes and rightly so.

WRONG!!! There should be NO secret ballots cast - you work for WE THE PEOPLE!!! We demand transparency - on ALL votes! (I did send a follow up in hopes of reconsideration.) I'll be watching ....
