Petitions draw 95,000 signatures
Wednesday, September 14, 2005
Petitions carriers who collected signatures throughout the summer in an effort to repeal LB 126, celebrated with a rally this weekend at Kearney, where the final count of signatures was announced at approximately 95,000. Although falling short of the 115,000 needed to automatically repeal the bill, enough signatures were gathered to put the measure before Nebraska voters in the 2006 ballot.
