Tech college cost may be below ceiling
Douglas Sarpy Dodge and Washington counties likely face the 2.5 mill maximum tax next year for technical community college support while other areas may pay less. Senator Maurice Kremer of Aurora, sponsor of LB 344 moving control to local boards and enabling the levy, plans to ask five of six boards to hold the levy to two mills.

Dog population up problem for towns
Mary Beth Grange reports on stray dogs as a growing municipal burden. In Sidney, Palmer Rhoades runs animal control, boarding strays at Edward Veterinary Hospital for three days before euthanasia if unclaimed, with about half of 20 monthly pickups adopted or taken in. Crowding costs include hospital bills, salaries, and vehicle upkeep, while fines cover only a portion of expenses. Local residents urge action such as subsidized spaying and venturing clinics, noting dumping on farms and roads. National figures show millions of dogs without homes and costly control programs.

Chautauqua plan seen as lasting state program
Zumberge outlined western Nebraska choice of Scottsbluff McCook and Chadron for chataquas to overcome regionalism plus Hastings Norfolk and Nebraska City as hosts. He said Omaha and Lincoln were excluded due to routine access to university programs and noted a May chancellor search should produce four to six candidates by October with a board-reviewed final pick. Warner saw no active Panhandle station expansion plans though more vigorous programs may occur without duplicating Chadron State College or Nebraska Western offerings.
