## Resource

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen is sparking controversy by allegedly avoiding state-issued phones for official calls — with his office claiming no records exist for over two years — while also halting public schedule releases. Critics say this secrecy, including refusing to disclose emails under a dubious “executive privilege” claim, breaks decades of Nebraska precedent and undermines transparency. The governor insists he only uses private devices for logistics, but advocates argue public business should never be shielded by personal tech — and the office’s refusal to explain its legal stance or provide denied records files only deepens the mystery.
