Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman says he will appear willingly before a legislative committee investigating the miscalculation of prison sentences.
Heineman says there was no need for the committee to issue a subpoena to compel him to testify. . .

Heineman continues to support state Corrections Director Mike Kenney, despite Kenney’s questionable move to provide alternatives to eight inmates released from prison prematurely.
Kenney created a program in which the inmates could serve the remainder of their sentences at home rather than return to prison, despite being warned the program might not be legal.
Heineman defends Kenney, who he appointed after the sentence miscalculation scandal broke. . .

Heineman denies he was in the meeting when Kenney first proposed the alternative sentencing program, though a memo issued by Corrections’ former general counsel indicates he was there.
