Omaha will get a new $136 million VA clinic in the future, thanks to a public-private venture.
 
Omaha Democratic Congressman Brad Ashford and Republican Senator Deb Fischer were able to get a bill through Congress that allowed that public-private venture to move forward.  But the bill which President Obama signed last week almost didn't make it through Congress before it adjourned.  Congressman Ashford appeared to KMTV Action 3 News Upfront at Four to discuss the deal.
