Power greed blamed for Nebraska patrol drug division decline
Former Nebraska State Patrol investigator Ned Lincoln testified that power struggles within the patrol’s drug division contributed to its downfall. He cited leadership failures after Capt. Lynn Parks took over, reliance on cooperating individuals, and a “numbers game” in charging cases, amid staff attrition and internal criticism by a legislative committee.

Health department refuses role as state review agency
The Nebraska Health Department will not review doctors’ work for the federal government. The Health Board told the U S Health, Education and Welfare Department it will not act as Nebraska’s review agency. The feds ordered states to form professional standards review organizations to control costs and boost quality. A four hour committee hearing probed patrol divisions amid allegations of illegal activities. Mrs Ritter declined to name the county attorney, saying she feared for her safety. She hinted she could reveal the attorney if hired. Ritter said patrol informants receive bounties for big busts, added as expense vouchers. She supported tougher training for informants aiding drug inquiries. Col. Karthauzer noted training packets exist. Omaha Sen Chambers pressed for public release. Karthauzer offered private viewing of the material.
