LINCOLN- Senator Mike Hilgers sent his colleagues notice today that the legislative retreat for senators, as required by statute, has been postponed due to exposures in the Capitol building. Hilgers noted that his staff will need to quarantine following exposure to a positive case, which comes on the heels of the announcement that Governor Ricketts will quarantine as well as a positive case by Senator Mike Groene.

Hilgers noted that he will release plans as they are developed with rescheduling the event, but no details are available the time of the release of this newsletter.

Senators had planned to gather for the yearly at Dismal River Golf Course outside Mullen this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Some members had already stated they would not be attending due to current COVID-19 conditions throughout Nebraska.
