Letter
Nominee before opponent
If I had read Matthew Millca's column, "Kerrey focuses
on specific problems" (Daily Nebraskan, March 12) with
little or no knowledge of the political process in Nebraska,
I would have been left with a distorted view of the current
state of affairs in Nebraska politics. I would have believed
that Robert Kerrey is running for governor against Nebra
ska's current governor, Charles Thone. Millea begins his
column by saying we're going to have an interesting race
for governor and in the next sentence describes Kerrey as
an "unusual candidate." He continues by contrasting
Kerrey and Thonc. In the penultimate paragraph, Millea
specifically refers to Thonc as Kerrey's opponent. This is
simply not true.
Kerrey is a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination. His opponent is Sen. George "Bill" Burrows,
not Thone. Thone is an incumbent making a bid for the
Republican nomination for governor. In order for Kerrey
and Thone to be each other's opponents, they must win
their respective primaries in May.
As a farmer and a member of the Agriculture and Kn
vironmental committees and the Revenue Committee in
the Legislature, Burrows is better equipped to bring about
effective solutions to the problems that Millea refers to
(which dealt primarily with agriculture) than is business
man Kerrey. Of course, the column did not say that
Kerrey claimed to have solutions to the state's agricultural
problems, only that he believed the government could be
doing more to solve these problems.
I believe a responsible newspaper, such as the Daily Ne
braskan, should inform its readers of the political issues
and help make the issues clear to them, not distort the
issues as Millca's column did.
