LINCOLN — Governor Jim Pillen’s veto of LB319, which would expand access to taxpayer-funded food stamps for felon drug dealers, was sustained by the Nebraska Legislature.
“Drug dealers should not be entitled to taxpayer-funded benefits, like SNAP. We can’t let repeat felons take advantage of the system. I’m grateful to the legislators who stuck together and helped sustain this common-sense veto.”
