Neb. Gov. Ben Nelson comes to Wayne, NE -despite the storm
Nebraska Gov. Ben Nelson braved slick roads and persistent winter storm, which forced cancellation of most other events, to travel to Wayne, Friday, to give a pep talk to Northeast Nebraska development and industry leaders.
The governor has been scheduled to speak at Wayne State College, Friday to give a luncheon group gathered for the rural economic development conference Friday, but the conference was cancelled by the storm.
Nelson came anyway, citing the tradition in his hometown of McCook and in towns in Northeast Nebraska of getting the job done no matter what the weather. Nelson arrived in a four-wheel drive piloted by a state patrolman.
