Nebraska highway panel balks at I 80 sculpture aims
Two Nebraska Highway Commission members object to the I 80 bicentennial sculpture project arguing it may not reflect state heritage while noting no state funds are involved. Roads director says the panel endorsed the concept and rest stop siting, with no credit taken for content. Governor Exon says no tax dollars are used and vetoed a $150 000 funding bill.
