Tomorrow will be my 2nd meeting with #Omaha DSA's affordable housing campaign.

1) hold OHA accountable to #Nebraska 2024 laws, which they're breaking #NEleg
2) push back on City cracking down on encampments

#NEleg Apparently the city of Omaha / OHA are ignoring 2024 legislation, so Omaha DSA is trying to get them to follow the law.

LB840 (2024) - Adopt the Poverty Elimination Action Plan Act and change provisions of the Middle Income Workforce Housing Investment Act and the Nebraska Housing Agency Act

Nebraska Legislature (#NEleg):
Are people using the new-ish(?) "Submit Comments Online" buttons (if and only if they are not planning on testifying in Lincoln in person)? e.g. https://nebraskalegislature.gov/bills/view_bill.php?DocumentID=58025

I hear rumors (Swing Left Nebraska podcast) that doing so might not be a waste of time...? At least we're creating additional paper trail that legislators are intentionally ignoring the will of the people? If that matters?

🤔 now I'm wondering if I could request / scrape stats showing each Senator and how often they vote against their own constituents... (is there an API for comments?)... a new Senator report card website?
