Special Session Called by Governor for Nebraska Legislation
Governor Keith Neville issues a proclamation for a noon Tuesday, March 26 special session to enact voting rights for Nebraska soldiers and sailors and consider ten other measures including language in schools, alien voting, moratoriums for soldiers, sedition penalties, home guard regulation, and mineral leases. The session also responds to a Nebraska Supreme Court ruling on mineral leases and potash deposits. The move may center on potash policy, with Lincoln-bound lawmakers and local figures like Lloyd Thomas preparing to participate. Religious and local visits are noted as well.
