Obituary
Eric Jordan Strasburg
1986-2015
Eric Jordan Strasburg,
28, of Kearney, passed
away April 24, 2015, at
Kearney. He was born
June 16, 1986, in North
Platte. He attended elementary and high at
Arnold High School and
graduated with the Class
of 2005. Eric attended
Great Plains Community
College, where he earned
his associate’s degree in
Computer Science. He
worked his way through
college by working as a
farm hand at Conner &
Conner Farm.
Eric met his wife,
Amanda Rosentrater, in
the fall of 2006. They
married in the summer of
2010 in Arnold, but
resided for a time in Watertown, South Dakota. In
the winter of 2011, Eric
relocated with Amanda
and his step daughter,
Layla Rivera, to Kearney.
Eric worked one year in
Broken Bow for Jennie M.
Melham Memorial Hospital in the IT department
before obtaining his most
current job at Baldwin Filters in their IT department.
He enjoyed spending
time with his friends,
family, having the best
grill outs whenever possible, playing racquetball at
the local YMCA and was
an avid gamer, to say the
least.
Eric was preceded in
death by his grandparents, Edward and Ruberta
Strasburg, Shirley Nuttall
and David Dunn; and his
uncle, Gene Geyer.
He is survived by his
wife, Amanda and step
daughter, Layla, both of
Kearney; his parents, Jody

rest his soul.

Governor’s Column
Our First 100 Days
By Governor
Pete Ricketts
April 21, 2015
The first 100 days of my
administration
have
moved quickly as we have
focused our priorities and
resources on a single goal:
Growing Nebraska. As I
have said before, the key
to growing our state for
the next generation starts
with creating jobs, lowering taxes, pushing back
on regulation and expanding educational opportunities. To achieve
these goals and objectives,
we have spent the first
days of my administration focused on hiring
transformational and innovative leaders and
building a budget that reflects the fiscal restraint
we need to provide Nebraskans with the tax relief
they
need
and
deserve.
We are building a great
team. With the help of an
executive search firm and
the financial support of
Nebraskans across our
state, we were able to
identify directors for key
positions in the Nebraska
Department of Health
and Human Services, the
Department of Corrections, and the Department
of
Economic
Development. These leaders are already making a
difference.
Here are just a few examples of the wonderful
work my team has been
doing these first few
months:
DHHS
CEO
Courtney Phillips announced with my office
just last week a new transparency initiative that
creates public performance metrics for ACCESSNebraska. The data will
be updated online every
month. This measure will
help hold the program’s
performance accountable
not only to my office, but
also to the people of Nebraska that this program
serves. In the Department
of Correctional Services,
Director Scott Frakes is
taking steps to upgrade
software that calculates
sentences to remove manual processes and reduce
the probability of error in
sentence calculations. Finally, Nebraska Department
of
Economic
Development
Director
Brenda Hicks-Sorensen
and Nebraska Department of Agriculture Director Greg Ibach are
planning the first trade
mission of my administration which will take us to
the European Union in
June to promote Nebraska
business and agriculture.
As a part of my budget
recommendation, I put
forward a plan to slow the
growth of government
and provide tax relief –
the “3 percent plan.” If
the Legislature holds the
line on spending to
around the 3 percent
mark that I recommended in my budget
while revenue continues
to grow, the difference
can provide tax relief to
hardworking Nebraskans.
Nebraska’s 2015 Business
Tax Climate Index ranking by the Tax Foundation
ranks us at 29th for competitiveness. If we plan to
continue to create goodpaying jobs for the next
generation and to stay
competitive nationwide
and globally long-term,
our business tax climate
must improve.
I am pleased that the Appropriations Committee
has adopted my recommendation to transfer an
additional $60 million a
year into the Property Tax
Credit Relief Fund. This
represents a nearly 43%
increase and would bring
the total transfer to the
fund for the biennium to
nearly $400 million. This
is tax relief for all property owners in Nebraska.
While the full Legislature
must still consider this
recommendation,
this
represents
significant
property tax relief if
adopted. There are additional tax relief measures
under consideration in
the Legislature for which
I continue to advocate,
and there is still time for
the Legislature to provide
additional property tax
relief this year.
During these past few
months, we made some
exciting announcements.
A few weeks ago, my office announced that Nebraska attained the lowest
unemployment rate in
the nation, and this
month it dropped even
further to 2.6%. Last week
we revealed that Sheldon
Station in Hallam, Nebraska, would become the
first large utility to utilize
hydrogen which will be
provided by the first clean
carbon black plant in the
United States. This week, I
joined leaders from the
University of Nebraska to
unveil Suji’s Korean Cuisine as the first international business to join
Nebraska
Innovation
Campus. These stories are
all great news for Nebraska and serve as evidence that our state is
growing and vibrant.
This is just the beginning of our quest to grow
Nebraska. As we work together, I will continue to
listen to your ideas on
how we can grow our
state. Please contact my
office at 402-471-2244 or
[email protected]
v. I look forward to hearing from you!
