Anonymous letter targets Dan Bergman over Sidney bank stand
A Sidney resident reports receiving an anonymous missive aimed at influencing Dan Bergman against investing in a proposed new national bank. The writer implies a local citizen’s misdeeds, while Bergman is not a prospective shareholder. The piece dismisses the smear as minor and deflects blame onto a lone actor, calling the attack petty. Governor Savage supports state bonds for a water power canal and irrigation, urging Nebraska to pursue cheap local power and factories to boost jobs and markets. The message praises the governor’s stance on public improvements and urges timely action.
