John Stossel to headline Platte Institute Transparency Conference
Roger Lempke, executive director of the Platte Institute for Economic Research, led a press conference this morning on the steps of the State Capitol during which the line-up for the Institute’s Transparency Conference was announced.
“Heightened citizen awareness from greater transparency in government has proven successful in achieving better accountability in other states. It can happen in Nebraska, too,” said Lempke. “Nebraska’s Unicameral legislature is an efficient form of governing. But we must never forget that it relies on citizen vigilance instead of partisanship to be successful.”

How You Can Help
The Platte Institute receives its operating revenue from private donations and private sector grants. It accepts no government funding or government related grants. As promoters of free enterprise ideas we need to operate under these same principles.
An investment in the Platte Institute through a donation is leveraged against the many private sector grant opportunities from foundations and institutes promoting the free market and free enterprise principles that made this country great.
Thank you for your generosity, and thank you for caring about Nebraska.
