School Lease Drive Prediction Spurs Ballot Effort
Charles D. Green of Sidney leads a Nebraska push to graft a seventh constitutional amendment on school land leases. The measure would have counties administer common school lands and use proceeds locally, funded by signatures across 38 counties to reach 44 972 valid voters for a November ballot. The effort faces legal action over lease cancellations and ongoing auctions to replace voided leases as state officials move to end unproductive leases.
