Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) announced his constituent casework staff will be hosting Mobile Office Hours around the state.



At Mobile Office Hours, Ricketts’ staff will be on-site to assist Nebraskans with their casework needs. If Nebraskans can’t get an answer in a timely manner or feel they have been treated unfairly, Ricketts and his staff may be able to help resolve the issue or help them get in touch with the correct people.



All times below are local. For more information about Ricketts’ constituent services, please visit https://www.ricketts.senate.gov/services.

Reader Poll: What are your favorite spots in Saline County?

A bench underneath the trees at Doane University's campus is a favorite lush spot for a morning cup of coffee and writing updates for the Saline County Daily Slice before the heat of the day. What are your favorite nooks in Saline County?

Editor's Note: I love to go find places to write that are outside the walls of The Crete News office and explore Saline County. Lately I have loved sitting on this bench at Doane University with a cup of inspiration, sunscreen, a hotspot and my keyboard clicking away. Send me your favorite places to add to my list of Saline County Must See's.
