Citizens discuss Amendment 300 at Cheyenne County meeting
A Wednesday Cheyenne County citizens committee meeting in Sidney drew a large crowd to discuss Amendment 300 to elect the State Commissioner of Education. Speakers included Gayle Binfield of Doniphan and Jack Halloran of Hastings arguing that local control should be preserved and that electing the state education chief would not end local school board elections. Halloran cited diocese perspectives and cautioned against opponents’ advertising claims. Binfield contrasted Nebraska’s education ranking with the proposal and questioned how a largely infrequent board could effectively run the department. A related note mentioned correspondence with The Lutheran Church and a retraction by Paul Steffins regarding his Lincoln Paper statements.
