The Exon administration is accused of avoiding real property tax oversight for seven years. The piece warns tighter tax rules may come after Exon, with potential inequities and possible constitutional changes. It notes 19.41 percent average assessments, far from the 35 percent requirement, cites Douglas County and a new regulation permitting class-based assessment shifts, and questions which groups gain tax advantages.
The Nebraska Legislature adjourned on Friday after a 10-9 vote inviting criticism of Friday sessions. The piece argues Friday absenteeism fosters mischief and repeated debates, urges a four day week, and blames the public for low salaries that push senators to work private jobs.
Two University of Nebraska Lincoln students report their wrecked cars after impound for unpaid parking tickets. The column muses on banning cars on campus to save fuel and space, with potential impacts on obesity and grades. The piece also targets Don Lienemann and the Interstate sculptures, plus health and trash enforcement notes.
Letter writers urge using the old post office as a combined county city justice building housing jails and courts with shared parking, and acquiring the Stuart Theater to restore cultural amenities. They cite efficiency, growth space, and community heritage, urging energy cogeneration advocacy.
The former White House press secretary, the only Ford staff resignation over Nixon’s pardon, argues Nixon has not admitted fault. He says Ford’s pardon was magnanimous but Nixon still refuses to acknowledge wrongdoing, justifying why the pardon was undeserved then and now.
The president shifts to a balanced budget priority while clashes with House Speaker Tip O Neill and VP Mondale reveal deep rifts over fiscal policy. Carter backs Burns and Lance, expanding the 1978 budget to 22 billion more than Ford, signaling potential inflation risk and party fault lines ahead of next year’s elections.
The piece criticizes fanciful restaurant names and adjectives on menus from Baskin Robbins to Burger King and Howard Johnsons, arguing such language dulls meaning. It contrasts plain terms with playful labels, noting critics resist excessive whimsy while commerce broadcasts constant descriptive noise.
