Nebraska’s state budget is coming together

Nebraska’s state budget is coming together

The Legislature gave secondround approval to the budget bills last week. This effort will allow the budget to be read on Final Reading, meeting the requirement to have it pass by the 80th legislative day. The budget would provide money for capital construction projects such as the Perkins County Canal Project and a new prison facility. Additional funds are appropriated to cover salary increases recently negotiated with the state employee’s union and for staff at correctional facilities and other 24/7 facilities that were experiencing dangerous staffing shortages. Worker shortages and competition also necessitated provider rate increases for nursing homes, behavioral health providers, developmental disability providers, and other Medicaid service providers. 05/17/2023 12:00 AM

“Celebrations and more celebrations. Just keeps a fellow running in circles to make all of them,” said Editor Allison in August 1942. “The fact that most all of them have the same set-up of concessions and attractions, where folks tramp on your toes, stick their elbows in your ribs, jam and push and shove you around. But it’s a celebration and how we love it.” 05/17/2023 12:00 AM
