Turns Back on Nebraska Kids, Schools and Property Tax Payers

Omaha, NE – Today, Congressman Lee Terry voted against a bill that will prevent teacher layoffs, property tax increases, and cuts to schools in Nebraska. The bill includes $59 million for Nebraska schools to help retain 1,100 teaching positions and preserve the quality of education for thousands of kids.

Without the federal assistance, Nebraska communities would have faced terrible choices: laying off teachers and increasing classroom sizes, or raising property taxes.

Democratic congressional candidate Tom White on Thursday accused his opponent, Republican Lee Terry, of protecting reckless behavior on Wall Street by voting against a bill to overhaul financial regulations.

“Terry, yet again, chose to side with Wall Street over Main Street,” said White, an Omaha attorney and state senator.

Omaha, NE – At a press conference today, Tom White took Rep. Lee Terry to task for his record of putting Wall Street ahead of Main Street. After voting to bail out Wall Street, Terry has consistently voted to protect the Big Banks’ greed and recklessness, even voting against comprehensive Wall Street reform yesterday.

“With his vote yesterday, Congressman Terry yet again chose to side with Wall Street over Main Street,” Tom White said. “Since supporting the Wall Street bailout, Lee Terry has doubled down in his support for Wall Street’s irresponsible behavior by voting against TARP reform, against limiting tax-payer funded bonuses at bailed out banks, and against comprehensive financial reform.”
