Governor Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, now a U.S. Senator and presidential candidate, signing a bill in 1986. Directly behind Kerrey is state Senator John DeCamp, then head of the Legislature's Banking, Commerce, and Insurance committee.
A broadside issued in 1988 by Concerned Citizens for Responsible Government, Inc., which investigated Kerrey's role in the collapse of Commonwealth Savings and his preferential treatment of State Security and other institutions owned by his associates. The governor's 1983 press conference about commonwealth's difficulties triggered the run on the bank.
Senator Loran Schmit, chairman of the Nebraska Legislature's Franklin committee. A farmer and a 23-year veteran of the Legislature, Senator Schmit persisted in the Franklin investigation, despite vilification of him in the press, death threats, and attempts to ruin him financially.
Senator Ernie Chambers, who co-initiated the legislative probe of the Franklin scandal.
The late Gary Caradori, investigator for the Legislature's Franklin committee, with his airplane. He and his eight-year-old son, A.J., died when it crashed on July 11, 1990. "There were a lot of people who wanted to see Gary dead," said Senator Schmit that day.
