ADVOCATES MIGHT PUSH FOR RECREATIONAL CANNABIS AFTER MEDICAL MARIJUANA DRIVE FAILS

LINCOLN- Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana announced that the next petition drive concerning marijuana may include permitting recreational marijuana.

After both medical marijuana petitions fell short of the November ballot, Christa Eggers, who is leading the project, said there will be discussions about pushing both recreational and medical marijuana.

Recreational marijuana would attract bigger donors and more support than just medical marijuana. Eggers noted that donations and support are vital to the success of the initiative.

“There is nothing off the table about how we get this done,” said Eggers, whose son suffers from up to 100 epileptic seizures a day. “I’m a parent, and I will do whatever it takes, and go to the ends of the Earth, to help my child.”

The Nebraska Secretary of State’s Office said Monday that two petitions submitted by Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana failed to collect the necessary, valid signatures of 86,776 voters and fell short of another requirement — gathering at least 5% of registered voters in 38 of the state’s 93 counties for its two petitions.

VILLAGES OF PAXTON, HERSHEY VOTE TO SEND ABORTION BAN TO NOVEMBER BALLOT

PAXTON- The Village Boards of Paxton and Hershey voted to place an ordinance on the November ballot that would make “performing abortions and abbeting an abortion illegal” within Paxton. Paxton is joining other towns in attempting to outlaw abortion within city-limits, including Arnold, Brady, Curtis, Hershey, Maxwell, Moorefield, Stapleton, Sutherland, Bellevue, and Wallace. 

The effort to outlaw abortion in Paxton was led by resident William Forbes, a pastor at Paxton New Life Lutheran Church. He collected over 138 signatures of support in Paxton. However, the petition circulated by Forbes was not an official citizen initiative, so the Village Board decided to place the ordinance on the November ballot to allow voting-age citizens to choose whether or not to pass it. The measure in Hershey was brought before the village board as a result of a city initiative petition filed by three Hershey residents: Andrea Foster, Julie Larchick, and Myron Larchick. While the residents needed a total of 73 signatures for the initiative, the petitioners were able to obtain a total of 81 signatures.

Mark Lee Dickson, director of Right to Life of East Texas and the founder of Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn Initiative, was in Paxton to celebrate the placing of the ordinance on the ballot. Dickson stated, “While it is always safer, easier, and less attention-drawing for communities to pass the ordinance through a vote of their village board or city council, seeing an ordinance move forward for a vote of the community is progress and progress is all we asked for.”

If passed, the penalty under the Paxton measure for violating the ordinance will be a $500 fine, but the language of the bill also made it clear that “under no circumstance may the penalty be imposed on the mother of the unborn child that has been aborted.”

REPORT SAYS NEBRASKA PRISON STAFF SHORTAGES INCREASED INJURIES FROM FIRE

LINCOLN- A mattress fire at the Lincoln prison ended up sending 4 people to the hospital, critically low staffing could have played a part in the number of injuries.

The report, from the Inspector General of the Nebraska Correctional System, said a Lincoln Correctional Center housing unit for inmates with mental illnesses or a need to be segregated from others was unattended when an inmate started the Oct. 23, 2021, fire.

"Staff were stretched so thin on the day of this fire that they were unable to provide adequate supervision of an area that houses some of the most troubled and troublesome inmates," the report said. "A fire which could have been noticed and addressed almost immediately instead resulted in serious injuries to inmates and staff."

The state nears the top of prison overcrowding and as the number of prisoners goes up, the staff however did not.

According to the Inspector General's report: Only one staff person was assigned to the 32-bed C1 unit the Saturday of the fire and he had left to get a printout from another staff member.

In an Aug. 8 letter, state Corrections Director Scott Frakes accepted the recommendations about fire safety.

FORMER HEAD OF HISTORY NEBRASKA MIGHT HAVE VIOLATED STATE LAW, STATE AUDITOR'S PROBE SAYS

LINCOLN- The former head of History Nebraska might have violated state law in misdirecting $270,000 in funds forwarded to him to help cover losses in revenue caused by COVID-19, the Nebraska State Auditor’s Office said.

Trevor Jones, who resigned as History Nebraska’s director effective July 1, should have deposited the funds, as required by law, with the Nebraska State Treasurer’s Office, said Craig Kubicek, deputy state auditor, in a letter to History Nebraska.

Instead, the funds — requested in 2020 to help the agency weather losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic — were forwarded to a newly formed History Nebraska Foundation and were not utilized for pandemic relief.

The auditor’s letter said that the misdirection of funds could constitute embezzlement, theft or official misconduct and that the matter has been forwarded to law enforcement officials for their review. The case might also be a violation of the Nebraska Political Accountability and Disclosure Act.

“Without such procedures, there is an increased risk for not only waste, misuse, or misappropriation of State funds but also violation of State law,” Kubicek wrote.

The auditor’s letter also raised concerns about the use of History Nebraska’s resources to help set up a private, nongovernmental entity, the History Nebraska Foundation, in 2019 and 2020.

MALCOLM X, LOUISE POUND AND HOWARD HANSON ADVANCED AS CANDIDATES FOR NEBRASKA HALL OF FAME

LINCOLN- Civil rights leader Malcolm X survived the first cut to be inducted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame along with educator/author Louise Pound and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer/director Howard Hanson.

The seven-member State Hall of Fame Committee pared the list of eight nominees to the three finalists after a brief discussion. The commission took testimony about the candidates at public hearings held last month in each of the state’s three congressional districts, and considered written testimony.

A final selection will be made Sept. 12 at a public meeting at the State Capitol.

Pound, an English professor who was a pioneer in linguistic studies and the only woman in University of Nebraska history to letter in a men’s sport, received votes of six of the seven board members, with Malcolm X receiving five and Hanson four.

Every five years the Hall of Fame Commission picks a new inductee into the state Hall, which is located in the State Capitol. A person must be deceased for at least 35 years to be inducted.

There are 26 members of the Hall, including Buffalo Bill, Ponca Chief Standing Bear and Boys Town founder Father Flanagan, but no African-American inductees.

Fifteen years ago, Malcolm X was deemed too controversial to be inducted.

FBI MOVES TO SEIZE BANK DEPOSITS IN ALLEGED $10 MILLION FRAUD OF KANSAS FOSTER CARE PROVIDER

TOPEKA- Federal prosecutors acting on disclosures of a whistleblower moved to seize $700,000 in a civil asset forfeiture case alleging a former information technology employee defrauded Saint Francis Ministries of millions of dollars while the nonprofit was under contract with the state of Kansas to provide foster care and adoption services.

Federal court documents allege William Whymark, owner of WMK Research, ripped off Saint Francis Ministries from January 2018 to July 2021 by exaggerating IT work performed and expenses incurred on behalf of Saint Francis Ministries. The scam purportedly involved fraudulent invoices submitted to the nonprofit organization serving Kansas families in about half the state, court records show.

The state of Nebraska, starting in 2019, also contracted with Saint Francis to oversee its child welfare system. Nebraska officials terminated that contract in December, three years before its end date, saying Saint Francis failed to deliver on a number of obligations.

The recent legal action targeted cash held in three bank accounts controlled by Whymark, who has an opportunity to challenge the seizure in U.S. District Court. The seizure process was initiated with consent of Judge Eric Melgren of the U.S. District Court in Wichita.

An FBI agent said in court filings there was probable cause to believe Whymark, president of WMK Research of Mount Kisco, New York, engaged in a multiyear scheme netting $10.73 million from Saint Francis Ministries.

EFFORT TO INTEREST TEENS IN NEBRASKA HIGH-TECH MANUFACTURING CAREERS AWARDS NEW GRANTS

LINCOLN- Gov.Pete Ricketts, in an attempt to interest more Nebraska teens in manufacturing and health care jobs, handed out two new grants. The grants, which were sent through the Ricketts-launched Developing Youth Talent Initiative, went to the companies MetalQuest and 21st Century Equipment. Each company received a grant equal to $125,000.

Since its establishment in 2015, the Initiative has reached nearly 24,500 students from 66 Nebraska school districts, giving teens the chance to begin careers in IT, manufacturing, and health care.

Tony Goins, director of the Nebraska Department of Economic Development, said that the state faces a "critical need" for workers, with about 50,000 vacant jobs. Scott Volk of MetalQuest, and Owen Palm of 21st Century Equipment, have nearly 50 vacant positions between the two companies, and each believes that interest in high-tech fields must be sparked in students at a young age.

The Developing Youth Talent Initiative has reportedly increased interest in high-tech careers from 39% to 75% after students at Sandy Creek and Lawrence-Nelson schools were exposed to some of the work being done at MetalQuest. Enrollment in science and technical skills classes has also increased, said Ricketts.

MetalQuest plans to use its grant to purchase new robotic equipment similar to what the company currently uses, and will utilize this to teach students about industrial robotics and coding.

21st Century Equipment will use its grant to construct a new mobile learning lab, which it hopes will inspire more teens to enter the field.

BOB EVNEN TALKS ABOUT RECENT TRADE MISSION TO BULGARIA

LINCOLN- Secretary of State Bob Evnen issued a report detailing his recent trip to Bulgaria, which was financed by the USDA Emerging Markets Program. The focus of this trade mission was to discuss Nebraska's dry edible beans and beef production in an attempt to expand markets in Europe.

Last year, the Nebraska bean industry found itself with a surplus of Great Northern beans, of which Nebraska is the top grower, because of a 25% retaliatory tariff imposed by the EU on dry edible beans. Earlier this year, the tariff was removed, prompting Evnen to seek new trade agreements.

Kelley Bean Company, a large western Nebraska bean processor, was present at the meeting. Pierfrancesco Sportelli, the company's trading manager, met with two major dry bean processors and distributors in Bulgaria.

German Martos, Director of Sales for Lindsay Irrigation, and Dr. Chris Calkins, a Nebraska beef representative and UNL professor, were also present. Calkins presented information about Nebraska beef to several chefs and hospitality managers in the hopes of expanding the market in Bulgaria.

Bob Evnen is hopeful that trade will be expanded in European markets, saying, "We are very happy with the outcomes and look forward to ongoing trade between Nebraska and Bulgaria, and other markets around the world."

This trade meeting was a follow-up to another that took place in Bulgaria in 2019.

GOV. RICKETTS DISCUSSES ABORTION, STEM EDUCATION IN NEBRASKA

Ricketts said he is encouraging Nebraska state senators “to pass whatever restrictions they think they can get the votes to be able to get done.” He said he supports a complete ban, but that the idea was floated to change the current proposal prohibiting abortions starting at 20 weeks to banning abortion at 12 weeks into a woman’s pregnancy.

“Unfortunately, we found out we had a couple of senators who were clearly playing games, who voted for the complete ban and then would not come back and work on a 12-week ban, which was just basically changing our current law from 20 weeks to 12 weeks. So, we clearly had some senators who were not being honest with their constituents on this,” Ricketts said.

The governor added that those senators “will be term-limited out” and encouraged the legislature to “take more steps to protect ‘preborn’ babies again next year.”

Also discussed was how to get more children interested in STEM education: science, technology, engineering, and math.

Ricketts said an increase in enrollment in those courses works to make sure companies can have access to the talent they need to continue to grow in the state.

DOUGLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE URGING OMAHA TO INSTALL LICENSE-PLATE READERS

OMAHA- The Omaha City Council debated whether or not to approve a request from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office to build license-plate reading technology throughout the city. The proposal will allow the city to build this license-detecting technology on light poles around the city, but would not allow the Omaha Police to access the data collected by the devices.

A representative from ACLU Nebraska stated that the new system, formally titled the 'Flock Safety System', would collect massive amounts of plate numbers and GPS locations. ACLU Nebraska was against the proposal, claiming that it would collect data even from innocent people and store it in a cloud.

Councilwoman Aimee Melton agreed with the ACLU's sentiment, stating that she fears the new system will chip away at Omaha citizens' personal freedoms.

The Sheriff's Office believes the new technology to be an effective crime-fighting tool, claiming that it has already uncovered "an auto theft ring." The Office had placed 15 cameras around Douglas County as a test, and is planning on placing ten more if the ordinance is passed.

Police Capt. Will Niemack told the council that the system only takes and saves pictures of reported and stolen vehicles, sending an immediate alert to law enforcement. Proponents of the new system argued that the cameras are only pointed at the roadway, and will not be used for sidewalk surveillance.

The ACLU argued against this, claiming that the cameras will not be able to make a distinction between innocent vehicles and the stolen vehicles it is designed to look for. They, along with other opponents of the ordinance, argued that more trial runs should be conducted before the Council makes a decision.

PSC GRANTS $7.8 MILLION TO BUILD CELL TOWERS IN RURAL AREAS OF NEBRASKA

LINCOLN- The Nebraska Public Service Commission announced $7.8 million in funding to two wireless phone companies to build cellular towers in rural areas of the state, several of them in Southeast Nebraska.

U.S. Cellular will receive a little more than $5.1 million to build 11 towers, including sites in Adams, Brainard, Elmwood, Murray and Tobias.

The other grant, for nearly $2.8 million, went to Viaero Wireless to build towers in DeWitt, Diller, Filley and Goehner.

The money, which comes from the Nebraska Universal Service Fund's dedicated wireless fund program, was approved at the PSC's latest meeting.

“The continued funding of cell towers through NUSF is another example of our efforts to improve communication in the unserved and underserved areas of our state,” PSC Chair Dan Watermeier said in a news release.

It is unclear when the construction of the new cell phone towers will begin.

NEBRASKA LEGISLATIVE TEAM DRILLS DOWN INTO DETAILS OF SPENDING $335 MILLION IN NORTH, SOUTH OMAHA

OMAHA- After hearing highlights from meetings held earlier this week with North and South Omaha leaders, a special legislative committee moved closer to resolving a $335 million question.

The question: How best can the panel identify projects that will spark wealth-building, well-paying jobs and generational change in the poorest areas of Nebraska?

The committee, led by State Sen. Justin Wayne of Omaha, is tasked with defining specifically how to invest the $335 million that Nebraska lawmakers earmarked earlier this year to North and South Omaha and other communities disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The committee and representatives from engineering and design consulting firm Olsson met with community leaders at the University of Nebraska at Omaha campus to share results of four “stakeholder” meetings held earlier this week in North and South Omaha.

The specific plan is to be turned in by Olsson on December 1st. Olsson plans to create a website to provide further guidance on the process and how applicants can compete for the grants.

Public meetings will be scheduled during the week of Sept. 19 at which people can discuss and submit ideas for potential ways to use the funds.

TEMPORARY CASINO CONSTRUCTION IN GRAND ISLAND TO START AFTER NEBRASKA STATE FAIR

GRAND ISLAND- Construction of a temporary casino at Grand Island’s Fonner Park is expected to start in September, following the Nebraska State Fair.

Fonner Park Chief Executive Officer Chris Kotulak gave an update to the Grand Island Noon Rotary Club on the upcoming “Grand Island Casino Resort” planned for the campus, via Elite Casino Resorts.

The plan is to “get started as soon as we can after the fair,” said Kotulak. The state fair ends on Labor Day, Sept. 5.

The temporary casino is expected to open around Thanksgiving. It will be operational for “at least two years.”

“All along, we said we’re not going to just open up some metal shed and throw in some slots and call it done,” said Kotulak. “We want people to have as good a customer experience as they can without the final result.”

A 30-second commercial for the temporary casino will start airing soon, Kotulak announced. It was shown to the club.

RICKETTS SAYS HE WANTS 'RESIGNATIONS' IF MAR-A-LAGO RAID WASNT BASED ON A SERIOUS ALLEGATION

LINCOLN- Gov. Pete Ricketts said that he wants “more transparency” from the FBI and Department of Justice about the decision to search former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

If it’s not, the governor said, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christoper Wray should resign.

Ricketts said he wants to see the affidavits that supported the search warrants that were approved by a Florida judge — affidavits that the Justice Department has asked to remain sealed because of an ongoing investigation.

He said that both the FBI and Department of Justice have had “a recent track record” of “appearing to be politically motivated.”

Ricketts cited the handling of the Steele dossier, which alleged a conspiracy between the Trump campaign in 2016 and the Russians—- allegations that were later discredited — and the handling of the affair involving Hillary Clinton and her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

Many Republicans have called for more oversight of the Department of Justice in the last week.

PETITION TO BAN ABORTION WITHIN CITY LIMITS FILED IN BELLEVUE

BELLEVUE- Just a week after Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts announced there was not enough support to call a special legislative session to ban abortion in the state, a group in Bellevue is taking matter into their own hands. 

Bellevue City Attorney Bree Robbins said a request for a special election was filed with the city on Aug. 1 that would outlaw abortion and abortion-inducing drugs, and declare Bellevue a sanctuary city for the unborn. Robbins said the petitioners have until next February to gather the amount of signatures they need to place the issue on a special election ballot. 

The measure would even go as far as requiring Bellevue's Public Library to limit access to information pertaining to abortion.

Robbins said the petitioners have until next February to gather the amount of signatures they need to place the issue on a special election ballot. 

Two smaller communities, Hayes Center and Stapleton, have already gone through the sanctuary process. 

While Bellevue isn't the first town looking to approve an abortion ban, it is the first Nebraska city that actually has an abortion clinic to be targeted. Officials with that clinic, CARE, told our partners at WOWT 6 News that if the ordinance is approved, they would consider opening a new clinic in Omaha.

GOP CANDIDATE PILLEN WON'T DEBATE DEMOCRAT BLOOD IN GOVERNORS RACE

LINCOLN- Prior to Nebraska’s Gubernatorial primaries, candidate Jim Pillen made the decision to avoid debates against his opponents in the Nebraska GOP.

Dave Heineman, former Nebraska Governor, called Pillen’s decision a “mistake,” and claimed that it would have cost him the GOP nomination. However, as we know now, it worked very well in Pillen’s favor.

With the primaries long behind us and the election creeping ever closer, Pillen is unwavering in his decision to skip debates. Opponent Carol Blood has accepted several from different news sources, but Pillen has denied them all.

This strategy, according to Joe Kelly, the Republican candidate for Lt. Governor, is a “perfect fit for [Jim Pillen].” Kelly goes on to say that “shaking a hand and looking somebody in the eye gives a much better chance of a vote coming his way than Jim Pillen with a lot of other candidates saying essentially the same thing on a stage. So, for Jim and his personality it made perfect sense to me. People who meet Jim Pillen one on one like him.”

As of now, there is no indication that Pillen will change his mind on his decision to skip debates, and only time will tell if the strategy is truly effective. However, based upon Pillen’s performance in the gubernatorial primaries, the no-debate strategy may just work.

FLOOD SAYS HE WILL DEBATE PANSING BROOKS TWICE IN NEBRASKA’S 1ST DISTRICT HOUSE RACE

OMAHA- After receiving hefty criticism from his opponent, Sen. Patty Pansing Brooks, for allegedly not agreeing to televised debates, U.S. Rep. Mike Flood stated that he will, in fact, debate Pansing Brooks two times before the upcoming election.

Pansing Brooks had “long ago” accepted debate invitations from several Omaha and Lincoln news stations, and has claimed that Flood was “stalling” by not agreeing to them. After receiving this criticism, Flood defended his lack-of-action by claiming that he intended to make sure all 1st District voters had the chance to watch the televised debates before agreeing to participate in them.

Flood stated, “I’m very open to debating Senator Patty Pansing Brooks. I want to make sure that people that live in Seward County, Lancaster County…in the Lincoln Designated Market Area are served.”

Chris Triebsch, Sen. Pansing Brooks’ campaign manager, stated that he was happy to see Flood’s willingness to debate, but believes it shouldn’t have taken weeks of “public prodding.”

Triebsch stated, “We will continue to press the case until dates have been agreed upon for debates, and we will watch to ensure that both Lincoln and Omaha television media markets have been covered.”

SPOTLIGHT ON ABORTION PUSHES NEBRASKA CANDIDATES TO SHARE THEIR VIEWS

LINCOLN- After receiving an insufficient amount of votes, Gov. Ricketts stated that a special session would not be held to consider the matter of abortion in Nebraska after the overturning of Roe V. Wade. Since then, several candidates for different levels of office in Nebraska have expressed their worries, their hopes, and their plans for the future of abortion in the state at the behest of their constituents.

According to John Hibbing, a political science professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, many candidates could just state whether they were ‘for’ or ‘against’ abortion prior to the overturning of Roe V. Wade. Now, however, Hibbing stated that constituents want more solid and explicit plans from each of their candidates now that an abortion ban is possible.

Some candidates have complied with their constituents wishes, like legislative candidate Stu Dornan, who clarified that, while he is anti-abortion, he wouldn’t be opposed to specific exceptions for rape, incest, and life-saving procedures. “I believe my views are consistent with a majority in my district,” Dornan stated.

Hibbing stated that the massive focus on abortion rights in the coming month may give Democratic candidates a slight edge in their respective races, but that it likely won’t be enough to win many of the previously Republican-held seats.

Democratic candidates have been complying with their constituents' demands for transparency for the most part, but for many, it may not be enough. Jane Kleeb, Nebraska Democratic State Party chair, stated that Nebraska democratic candidates are mostly okay with the current 20-week abortion cutoff in the state.

“Pushing for a more permissive statute in Nebraska,” says Hibbing, “would be a huge strategic error for Democrats who, given the Court’s recent decision in Dobbs, would be more than satisfied with the status quo.”

Given the fact that a large amount of Republican support would be necessary, it would be almost impossible for Democrats in Nebraska to pass any legislation that would make abortion any more lenient than it already is.

PANSING BROOKS, FLOOD SHARE DIFFERING PERSPECTIVES AHEAD OF CONGRESSIONAL REMATCH

LINCOLN- Democratic organizers in Nebraska believe they may have a shot at success in the state's 1st Congressional District.

Republicans, who have held the seat since 1964, are thinking otherwise.

With the rematch on the horizon, Patty Pansing Brooks and Rep. Mike Flood have contrasting views and visions for Nebraska.

Compromise and Consensus-building are keystones of Pansing Brooks campaign. She said, "We all care about our families, having a well-paying job, good health care and making sure our children have good schools...Those are things we all have in common and a party does not define."

Flood called that quote lacking and sad he believes that Nebraskans are generally more fiscally conservative and adverse to increased spending.

"When I talk to people I hear about how expensive things are, people want change." Flood said. He followed by saying, " Pansing Brooks wants to keep going down the same path with the same leadership that's gotten us into the biggest mess in 40 years."

Flood believes her message of civility and transcending party boundaries is resonating with voters, Flood responded by saying her string of attacks on Flood says different.

Both candidates said they are confident heading into the November rematch despite their major differences.

FEDERAL ARPA FUNDS HELP TURN FIRE-DAMAGED SOUTH OMAHA FUNERAL PARLOR INTO JOB CENTER

OMAHA- A fire-devastated South Omaha mortuary is on track to become a hub for citizen job connections. The 85-year-old building, while a simple shell as of now, is being renovated for $1.6 million by Canopy South, the buildings landlord. Canopy South then plans to offer the citizens of South Omaha investments in the property, ranging from $10, to $100, to even more. 

Citizens who invest in the project will have the chance to build up their equity, and will also receive around 6% to 8% annual dividends from rent paid by occupying agencies. 

Canopy South is excited to be able to give such an opportunity to South Omaha citizens, and the company believes that "[They] are breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty with a coordinated and holistic revitalization of the neighborhood." And, after the business proves to run steadily, Canopy South plans to relinquish its stakes in the building and give full control to smaller, South Omaha investors who will have the chance to run it with a locally-led board of directors.

The main tenant in the building is slated to be Heartland Workforce Solutions, which plans to use its $600,000 ARPA grant to launch operations in the facility. Similar to the North Omaha Job Center, the new site will offer resume assistance, computer training, career coaching, employment planning, adult education, and entrepreneurial support. The site will also house bilingual employment experts. 

Erin Porterfield, executive director of Heartland Workforce Solutions, stated that they "want to see this as a hub of talent acquisition for businesses looking for talent to grow their businesses and to serve our community."
