The Nebraska Intergovernmental Risk Management Association (NIRMA) is a not-for-profit, member-owned and operated risk management and self-insurance pool designed by and expressly for Nebraska counties. Created in 1988 under the Intergovernmental Risk Management Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. 44-4301 to 44-4339) and the Interlocal Cooperation Act (Neb. Rev.

Under the NIRMA flagship there are actually two pools – NIRMA, which provides property and general liability coverages, and NIRMA II, which offers workers` compensation coverage. NIRMA began with 32 counties as charter members. Today, NIRMA serves 95 members.

Deadman Talkin` - Deadman Talkin` is a serie of columns, written by Dean Carter who is currently on death row, in San Quentin Prison. Death Penalty Group - December 19, 2005 - I just started a web site that is going to be geared towards educating people on both sides of the death penalty argument regarding what life is like behind bars for condemned prisoners. I have a team of volunteers who are going to write to death row inmates around the US and ask them to participate by sending us letters that they would like us to post on the blog. It will hopefully be a simple record straight from their own mouths on what day-to-day life is like on death row. Even if the men and women on death row we write to do not want to contribute, we would like to stay their pen pals as so few of them have anyone to really communicate with. My hope is that one day I will have a non-profit organization that will be successfully educating people about the human side of death row, not the scientific, statistical side.
