Senators: essential
LOBBYING from 1
of salt until he hears the other side of
the story from an opposing lobbyist.
“Too often (lobbyists) are one
sided,” Beutler said. “If I see two of
them, I know I’ll get both sides.”
Beutler and Landis agreed that
lobbyists were essential. There is too
much information for one senator to
gather alone.
Lobbyists are necessary, Beutler
said, to inform senators about the
logistics behind a specific bill.
Without them, it would be impossi
ble for senators to learn everything
they needed to know about bills.
Joe Jordan, a reporter from
KMTV 3 in Omaha, said he calls
lobbyists first when covering a bill.
“Lobbyists know the bills better
than the senators themselves,”
Jordan said.
i
“Quite often, it’s the lobbyist who
writes a bill that the senators later
vote on.”
The Legislature passed a bill tl^is
session that increases the number of
gifts given to senators from lobbyists
that have to be reported.
Larry Ruth, a private lobbyist of
the Legislature, said he gives up to
$5,000 a year in gifts to senators.
The definition of gifts is broad,
Ruth said.
It includes food, drink and enter
tainment, among other things.
Though the recently passed bill
might make lobbyists report more
spending, Ruth said, it won’t affect
the number of gifts he gives.
But there’s been massive over
reporting by lobbyists anyway,
because none of them want to break
the law, he said.
Beutler said Nebraskans have a
” Lobbyists know
the bills better
than the senators
themselves."

misperception about the gifts sena
tors accept from lobbyists.
“Let me tell you what annoys the
hell out of legislators,” he said.
“All this wining and dining stuff.
In a 90-day session, we get invited
out every day of the week, and after
the first few, it’s a drag. We’d just as
soon it all went away.”
Former coach sentenced in Texas
By Michelle Starr
Staff writer
A former University of Nebraska
cross country coach was sentenced
Monday to six months in jail and 10
years probation for indecency with a
child in Texas.
Michael Marsh, 35, was convicted
April 13 in Mesquite County Court for
fondling a 16-year-old girl’s breasts in
January 1999 in the hallway of
Mesquite High School in Mesquite,
Texas, said Mesquite Police Sgt. Mike
Bradshaw.
Marsh, who had worked at the
school for five years, was working as a
track coach at the time of the incident,
and it was not the first time he had
been accused of inappropriate con
duct.
Another female student at the
school brought sexual assault charges
against Marsh in the spring of 1999,
but the case was dropped during the
trial last summer because of conflict
ing testimony from the alleged victim,
Sgt. Joel Martin told the Daily
Nebraskan in January.
Marsh was put on paid leave from
the high school when die first charges
were filed and resigned from his posi
tion during the investigation in the
summer.
Ian Halperin, Mesquite
Independent School District
spokesman, was unavailable for com
ment.
Marsh moved to Lincoln, where he
volunteered for a portion of the 1999
NU cross country season, and the sec
ond round of allegations, which led to
the conviction, were brought in the fall.
Marsh was arrested Jan. 20 at
Lincoln’s Sports Courts, 222 N. 44th
St., where he worked as a personal
trainer.
The second-degree felony of inde
cency with a child is punishable by two
to 20 years in jail and/or a $10,000
fine, according to Texas law.
