Today, Governor Pete Ricketts issued a statement in observance of the New Year which is celebrated on January 1, 2016.

"As we enter 2016, our team renews our pledge to all Nebraskans to make government work for the people and grow Nebraska.
"Susanne, the kids, and I wish Nebraskans a Happy New Year, and encourage you to buckle up and report unsafe driving activity to law enforcement."
