Hassebrook Addresses Omaha World-Herald Story

Chuck Hassebrook, Democratic candidate for Governor of Nerbaska, has released the following statement regarding the Omaha World-Herald’s latest story (10/11/14)  on the Department of Corrections and Director Kenney:

“As Governor, I will crack down on problems in the Department of Corrections, and appoint a Director who will follow the law, on Day One.

“No one is above the law, and if I had been the one present at the meeting where Governor Heineman and Attorney General Jon Bruning learned of the Director’s illegal program, I would have taken action immediately.

“I would also use my authority under the law to take away every day of automatically granted good time from offenders who demonstrate from their behavior in prison that they are a threat to our communities.”
