In a Nebraska village of about 100, Burr defies decline. With a single paved road and neighbors Syracuse Tecumseh Cook and Sterling nearby, the town thrives on a cooperative, local commerce, and a boosted tax plan that funded water and sewage, drawing only three opposed votes in two years.

Nebraska Supreme Court Allows NU Med Center House Officers to Union
The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that house officers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center may join a union to bargain with the university. The decision requires any union to include all other Medical Center professional, academic and administrative staff, preventing fragmented bargaining units. The ruling overturns a prior exclusive bargaining unit finding by the Industrial Court and aligns with state law encouraging unified public sector bargaining.
