Nebraska Supreme Court affirms LB 344 on tech college financing
The Nebraska Supreme Court in a 5-2 decision upholds the 1975 LB 344 law governing financing and regulation of technical community colleges. The ruling rejects the 1974 act as unconstitutional for mandating a state property tax, while a dissent argues the majority avoids constitutional limits on state aid to local education.

Nebraska Supreme Court ruling brings refunds to Cheyenne County
Cheyenne County Treasurer Milt Nissen welcomed today’s Nebraska Supreme Court decision on SB 344. He and his staff face refunds from a 1973 levy totaling about $54,000 for the county, with most owners receiving under $10. The county will not issue checks under $2 unless requested, and 388 checks were sent June 30. Many taxpayers chose to apply refunds to future tax payments.

Sidney budget proposes tax hike with no city employee raises
The 1976-77 Sidney budget of about 1.2 million dollars raises the local property tax levy to 30.285 mills, up from 29.99, with no salary increases for city workers though a 6 percent cost of living raise is planned. Revenue sources include 56 percent from taxes, plus sales and services and rents. The plan relies on franchise fees from the electric department and existing agreements with Cable TV and natural gas firms to balance the budget.
