Nebraska Supreme Court rules on land buying law and bonds
The Nebraska Supreme Court struck down a 1972 law authorizing cities and counties to buy land directly or via chambers of commerce, ruling that using general tax money for such real estate purchases for industrial development is unconstitutional. The ruling noted indirect methods via chambers of commerce and questioned use of federal revenue sharing funds. Wiltse suggested seeking a legal path to a similar law.
