Nebraska unicameral cost study urges taxpaying hope
Nebraska's move to a unicameral legislature is shown to cut costs by about 30 percent compared with the former bicameral system. Professor L E B Aylsworth of the University of Nebraska reports that regular sessions cost $169,107.26 under unicameral vs $219,045.89 under bicameral, with salaries for 43 members totaling about $11,699.87. Special sessions also run cheaper in the unicameral system, totaling around $10,000 or less, versus $35,460.51 in bicameral. The analysis, published in Congress Record, frames the change as a major efficiency gain for taxpayers.
