Unicameral defies veto in budget deadline bill
The Nebraska legislature passed LB473 34 to 12 despite promises of a gubernatorial veto. The measure tightens budget deadlines, moves the governor to submit budgets within 14 days of session start, extends the reporting deadline to Oct 15, and requires agency heads to be named in newspapers if deadlines are missed. Supporters say the bill ends budget games, while critics argue the authority to compel deadlines remains with the legislature.
