Nebraska Hit by Two Major Blackouts
Two successive power failures left most of Nebraska without electricity during a day heat wave. The first outage lasted 45 minutes to several hours and affected air conditioning and water in Lincoln. A second outage four hours later hit eastern Nebraska, with Columbus briefly restored, and officials warned a third outage could occur. NPPS officials blamed heavy demand and suggested South Dakota origin while rapid restoration was underway across the state.

Clark County seeks restraining order over county claims system
Clark County Commissioners urged District Attorney to obtain a temporary restraining order against County Auditor Paul Horn to force him to present claims and vouchers in their preferred format. Horn claimed compliance with the law but refused extra demands, risking court action. The feud centers on who pays vendors and the county payroll, with the data processing department as the alternate path. The commission warned they may appeal if a judge rules for Horn and vowed not to sign voucher sheets until the system is aligned or the work returns to data processing. The broader context mentions local civil rights concerns and calls for federal public works to tackle unemployment among Negro workers, with planned meetings involving NAACP leaders and Clark County schools’ leadership.
