Bird distress recordings seek to scare flocks away

Exon Eyes Tax Cuts As Revenue Surges In Nebraska
Gov. J. J. Exon announces plans to ask the State Board of Equalization to cut sales taxes from 3.5 to 3 percent and to consider an income tax drop from 18 to possibly 16 percent, citing stronger than expected revenues and a high general fund balance. A 3 percent sales and 16 percent income tax would save Nebraskans about 25 million in the first half of next year. Exon warns any cut would take effect in January and that a special session could be needed if voter approved state aid increases.

Nebraska high court upholds private marijuana arrest ruling
The Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed the Lancaster County conviction of Robert A. Kells for possessing less than a pound of marijuana in his home, rejecting claims privacy rights and due process were violated. The court said state action with a rational basis is enough to address drug use, noting expert testimony on harm was inadequate to overturn police power. The ruling references Dr. J. Bing Hart and a National Commission report while noting inconsistent evidence on effects of marijuana.
