Most Political Legislative Session Marks Decade
The Nebraska Legislature produced 739 bills, the longest session at 120 days and the highest cost to date at over 202000 dollars. Political maneuvering rose with Governor Brooks challenging the election of Ralph G. Brooks, while 43 senators will study 15 policy areas before reconvening in 1960 and 1961. A new warden Maurice H. Sigler was appointed at the state penitentiary, and veterans affairs director Louis R. Eby faced pressure over potential replacement, stirring pre election tensions.
