The Nebraska Legislature began its 2023 session with talk of unity but hints of battles yet to come. State Sen. Suzanne Geist (R-Lincoln) defeated State Sens. Tom Brandt (R-Crete) and Mike Moser (R-Columbus) to chair the Transportation and Telecommunications Committee. Sen Brandt called for less reliance on existing telecommunications companies to expand broadband.
