Nebraska editor challenged over mineral leases clash with state officials
The Alliance Times editor is accused of spreading falsehoods to block state mineral leases on school lands. The Herald defends a 1900s legal decision that rental payments do not grant mineral rights, notes open hearings improved the bill, and questions the editor’s motives and ties to potential lease gains.
