Lincoln dinner marks shift as Governor Morrison aide Gene Budig imposes a 20 admiral commissions per week cap to restore meaning and prestige to state Navy titles. Previously flat requests ranged from a baby to a dog, with dozens issued at once. Budig says future selections will be limited and require prior approval.
The article recounts Lt. Gov. Ted Metcalfe's Great Nebraska Navy concept and how Nebraska commissions, likened to admiral certificates, surged under past governors. It notes Budig's comparison to Kentucky Colonel prestige and Iowa honorary colonels, highlighting widespread curiosity and the playful yet symbolic honor across diverse professions.
