********************
Dear Members,
The Nebraska Legislature is back in session!
In collaboration with our outstanding lobbyist, Sean Kelley, we have arranged weekly Zoom meetings to provide legislative updates. These meetings will take place every Monday at 9:00 AM, starting January 13th.
During these sessions, Sean and I will share updates on bills of interest and provide insights into the progress of the legislative session. If Presidents, Secretaries, or Trustees are unavailable, any member is welcome to join the Zoom meeting.
I will send out the Zoom link on Friday evenings to ensure everyone has access ahead of the meeting.
I look forward to engaging with many of you on these calls. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to email, text, or call me directly.
Thank you, and see you soon!

Best regards,
Tony Conner

Monday weekly legislative update meeting
2026-02-09 08:30 - 22:00 | Zoom
Dear FOP President and Trustees,

We’re kicking off our weekly Zoom legislative update meetings this Monday morning at 8:30 AM with our lobbyist, Sean Kelley. These will be recurring, so you can use the same link for every session going forward.

I strongly encourage you to join whenever your schedule allows. These briefings are the best way to stay current on what’s happening at the Legislature and to keep your members informed.

A quick reminder of how quickly things can change: Last session we successfully extended the college benefit to correction officers. Less than a year later, we’re already facing legislation that would strip that retention incentive away.

To build strong testimony in defense of the benefit, we’ll soon be asking for information from any of your members who currently have children attending state colleges using the program. I’ll reach out with details as we get closer.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly if you have questions, suggestions, or concerns about any of this.

Fraternally,

Anthony Conner
Nebraska State FOP President
