David Domina congratulates Senator Chambers.

“For longer than four decades, Sen. Ernie Chambers has been the "2nd house" of the Nebraska Legislature. He has accomplished exactly what the second house is supposed to accomplish: slow matters down, force more debate, work harder to compromise, get to more intelligent solutions.

He has endured name-calling, racial epithets, and scorn from the impatient interests that would prefer legislating in a rush.

For every one of his many successes, and even for every time he has been the victim of slurs and epithets, Sen. Chambers has slowed, stopped and improved 1000 things.

For this, every Nebraskan owes Ernie Chambers, a debt of immeasurable dimension for all the bad he has prevented and all the good he has accomplished.”
