Legislature advances waste bill I
NUCLEAR From PageJ_
The Legislature also rejected 24
22 an amendment by Sen. Ernie
Chambers of Omaha that would have
allowed municipalities to accept one
member who is not a Nebraskan to
serve on the local monitoring com
mittees.
An amendment by Schmit was
passed Monday stating that local
monitoring committee members
must be Nebraskans.
Chambers said it should be a
municipality’s choice if it wants one
of its committee members to be a
non-Nebraskan.
The municipalities under consid
eration for the site are composed of
people that have “no expertise’’ on
nuclear matters, Chambers said. His
amendment would give them the
opportunity to choose someone who
does, he said.
Landis said not allowing thP
people to choose someone with m !
expertise to sit on the commute/;!
like telling a defendant who know
nothing about the law to defend him
self in court.
People will think they have been
treated fairly only if they can decide
for themselves whether to accent a
non-Nebraskan for the committee^
said. ’ e
Elmer said no other governing
bodies in the state allow a non-Ne
braskan as a member. Such a person
could volunteer services to thccom
mittcc, he said, but to give a non
citizen an opportunity to participate
in the political process would be a
mistake.
Chambers said the committees do
not make laws. They only monitor
observe and influence what happens
concerning the waste site.

Nationally, the percentages of

percent. Women make up about 39
percent of the total number of appli

Doerr said Nanci Rivenburg and
David Whitaker, co-chairporsons of
the Committee Offering l esbian and

Docrr said the Sue Tidball Award

caring members of UNL “from a
dishwasher to the president" who go

He said she died of lupus after
suffering from the disease for 20
