LINCOLN, NE – Governor Jim Pillen met with members of Nebraska Task Force One (NE-TF1), who were activated to assist in recovery efforts resulting from the deadly floods in central Texas, as well as the recent explosion at the Horizon Biofuels plant in Fremont. The meeting provided the Governor with an opportunity to personally thank members of the group, most of whom responded to both incidents.
Fifteen members of NE-FT1 were on hand for the Governor’s visit at the team’s headquarters in Lincoln. Referring to them as the “best of the best,” Gov. Pillen expressed his appreciation for their skills, training, and dedication to completing what were two very difficult missions.
“I can’t imagine the challenges and the reliance that you have to have when you are doing those kinds of tough things,” Gov. Pillen told the group. “My main goal this morning was to be able to look at everybody eye to eye and say a gigantic thank you on behalf of all Nebraskans.”…
