League’s ties to federal suit on Nebraska reapportionment
The Nebraska League of Municipalities faces criticism for joining a federal lawsuit favoring population based reapportionment of the state legislature. Critics say the league, representing hundreds of communities, risks appearing biased as urban areas press for changes, with Omaha and Lincoln likely bearing legal costs. Both sides offer valid arguments for compromise, but time has run out.

Sioux Depot Payroll Spurs Western Nebraska Economy
The Sioux Depot payroll for the year ending June 30 topped 4 million dollars with an additional 2 million spent on transportation, supplies, contracts, services and utilities. It is western Nebraska’s largest payroll outside Omaha-Lincoln, supporting 700 local workers who spend earnings in area shops, emphasizing the depot’s crucial regional role.

Steen Right On Promotion in Nebraska Tourism Defense
State Game Commission Director Mel Steen is correct that tourism promotion should stay with the Game, Forestation and Parks Commission rather than moved to Agriculture. He argues promotion fits outdoor activities like fishing, camping, parks and history, and warns a shift would waste funds and weaken efforts. Steen is praised as the key qualified promoter already on the job, with no added cost.
