Nelson has quietly, without much fanfare, targeted support for UNMC that benefits all Nebraskans.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The earmark process, Nelson said, is an appropriate use of such money for the health of the nation and its economy. <\/p>\n<p>The senator said he will continue to pursue earmark funding in a transparent manner to support worthy projects that keep Nebraska competitive nationally. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earmark funds to support the development of a liquid bandage that could save soldiers on the battlefield is money well spent, U.S. Sen.
