Nebraska Legislature set budget near 300 million line
Nebraska budget committee presented a two year spending plan totaling nearly 300 million in state revenues to fund current programs. The proposal, about 15 million below Gov. Tiemann's executive budget, assumes a 21 1/4 percent sales tax and 10 percent income tax with adjustments for new legislation. The measure tightens agency spending and salary controls while signaling a busy session with over 1,400 bills. Related moves include a ban on senatorial immunity shielding traffic tickets and the veto override on Self defense bill LB 925. Cecil Stanley named Education Commissioner successor to Floyd Miller, who defended his record in a 10 page reply.

Good Samaritan Village to Add 48 Beds at Alliance Nursing Home
Alliance officials let a $233000 contract to expand the Good Samaritan Nursing Home from 60 to 108 beds. The expansion will include $35000 or more in furnishings and equipment and will likely double payroll to support the added staff. The project reflects high local demand, as the current 60 beds have been filled for two years with a waiting list. Senior couples increasingly choose retirement living at the eastern Alliance complex, where 70 of 95 apartments are now occupied.

Dr Glenn Froning of the University of Nebraska explains high quality eggs have thick whites that shrink with storage, yolk color reflects hens diet, and color does not affect nutrition. Greenish whites come from riboflavin content, not a defect.
