LINCOLN- Gov. Jim Pillen, following the release of his budget proposal, introduced several bills to the Nebraska Legislature that seek to cut taxes, corral state spending, reform school aid, protect water rights, and implement a conservative policy agenda. Most of the bills are positioned in committees with friendly majorities for advancement to the floor of the Legislature, but some defense is still needed. That's where Kenny Zoeller comes in.

Zoeller, who has been with the Pillen campaign since the beginning, now serves as the governor's policy research director. Zoeller has testified at almost every bill hearing pertaining to Gov. Pillen's budget and agenda, and is a staunch defender of bills he claims will "grow our economy and keep our kids here."

Zoeller is situated in a position that is particularly communicative with state senators, and he already pushed for several bills that would help move Nebraska toward implementing Pillen's budget proposal. Many of these bills, besides a few that are being amended, are ready for floor debate, but heavy debate is expected from democratic senators.
