Those include Governor Dave Heineman, Congressman Adrian Smith, and Senators Ben Nelson and Mike Johanns, the article reports. "Their fear is it could hurt our state's biggest industry, agriculture, by raising the cost to produce," NTV reports. "There would be taxes by the government to penalize ...
