Issues
Conrad joined with term-limited DiAnna Schimek in early 2008 to override Gov. Dave Heineman's veto of Nebraska Legislative Bill 39, a law imposing significant new burdens on the initiative process in Nebraska.
Common Cause criticism
In 2008, Common Cause Nebraska (CCN) asserted that Conrad was acting unethically in doing paid work for Nebraskans United.
CCN spokesperson Jack Gould said that senators should not do paid work on issues they may later be asked to vote on. Conrad called his criticism "ludicrous".[1]
