"For example, where was the governor of Nebraska in dealing with safety at the Beatrice State Development Center? The Legislature handled that. Where was the governor on the CIR? The Legislature handled that. Where was the governor on the Keystone pipeline? The Legislature handled that. And finally — where is the governor now that the child welfare system seems to be in chaos? Again, the Legislature has to lead while the governor offers no ideas to address major issues in the state."
In respect of gay issues, a favored Heineman tactic is to appoint homophobic administrators who shut gay views out of the conversation in state government. Then Heineman clams up about his role or what side he's on. Lately, Iowa GOP Gov. Terry Branstad seems to have picked up on this technique.
