Nebraska Public Service Commission

One of the great things we get to do is help young people learn about government and public service.

We were pleased to welcome participants from Cornhusker Girls State to the PSC this week. Five of the students had been elected by their peers to serve as commissioners, and the group spent time learning about the PSC's work from Commissioner Schram and agency staff.

Thank you for your visit and for your interest in public service. We enjoyed meeting you and answering your thoughtful questions!

Yes, we're sharing another job opening ... and for good reason!

The PSC's work touches a wide variety of industries, and that means we occasionally have opportunities for people with very different backgrounds and skill sets. These openings are relatively rare, and we're excited to share another one.

Please share this opportunity with anyone who may be interested.

Recently, members of the Commission had the opportunity to meet with Senator Deb Fischer and Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Olivia Trusty. The topics discussed were wide ranging and the insights provided by Senator Fischer and Commissioner Trusty were invaluable.

I also had the opportunity to share some of the great work we are doing at the Nebraska Public Service Commission to expand Telehealth access and deliver connectivity to improve health monitoring for infants at child care centers. This pilot project will help young and first-time parents have confidence in returning to work and leaving their children in the care of others. I believe this will have a direct impact on preventing sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), increase workforce retention and deliver meaningful economic benefits to our state.

PSC Commissioners and staff were glad to join Sen. Fischer and Commissioner Trusty for a productive roundtable discussion on expanding broadband access and connectivity.

PSC Chair Tim Schram recognized Sheriff Neil Miller of the Buffalo County Sheriff's Office at his final 911 Service System Advisory Committee (SSAC) meeting this week.

Sheriff Miller is stepping down after more than 25 years of service on state 911 advisory groups. He is widely known as a leading authority on 911 issues in Nebraska, and his leadership has helped shape the system we rely on today.

As part of SSAC, Sheriff Miller advised the PSC on important 911 matters that supported reliable emergency communication across the state.

Thank you, Sheriff Miller, for your decades of service and dedication to public safety. Wishing you all the best in what's next!
