After serving for eight years in the Nebraska Legislature, Bayard Senator Steve Erdman bid his colleagues adieu last week.
As his second term concluded, Erdman said that he and his fellow lawmakers have accomplished a lot during his tenure.
He noted that one bill for him stood out in particular.
“So as we move through the things that we’ve accomplished, we think about those things we made people’s lives better by. And one of the most popular bills I ever had was in March of 2019 when the flooding happened,” remarked Erdman. “I had a bill that would reduce the property value that was damaged by flooding to the value what is left. That was a very, very popular bill that year. And so we got that pass to help change people’s lives and how much taxes they paid.
Erdman also thanked his wife, sons, and grandkids for being so understanding for the time he spent away from them as he worked to serve all of District 47.
