Wheat tax checkoff sparks Nebraska probe call
Lincoln lawmakers hear Sidney Sen Robert Clark demand an interim inquiry into Nebraska Wheat Advisory Commission spending. Clark cites unpaid accounting for funds from a one-quarter cent per bushel tax, accusing use on junkets including a 60 day Asia trip. Critics and supporters debate transparency and travel costs, with past critiques dating to mid 1960s and a 1973 around the world trip.
