DescriptionGov. Dave Heineman gives new meaning to the political maxim "keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

He has issued a verbal order that either he, or one of his staff members, should attend any meetings between state agency directors and his chief adversary, U.S. Rep. Tom Osborne.

Heineman attended a meeting between Osborne and State Property Tax Administrator Cathy Lang, and he wanted to attend a meeting of Osborne and Nebraska National Guard Maj. Gen. Roger Lempke. The latter meeting eventually was scrapped.

Heineman even requested that Osborne's session with Lang be held in his office, said Osborne and Lang.

Osborne refused.

When Osborne showed up for the meeting in Lang's office, Heineman was waiting for him.
