League of Municipalities Pushes Special Nebraska Session

Tiemann is hesitant, citing next January’s regular session, while a court ruling on budget veto powers looms.

Nixon Proposes Higher First Class Postage Rates
President Nixon’s suggestion to Congress to raise first class postage from 6¢ to 10¢ faces doubt. A modest increase is seen as more likely, with support for higher junk mail rates to offset a Post Office deficit of 1.5 billion dollars and wage raises. The Water Quality Act clears Congress with penalties for oil spills, but adds an education grant program opposed by critics.
