The market will run every Saturday through September 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Inspired by her visits to vendor fairs and markets in Elgin and across northeast Nebraska, Riege noticed that some communities lacked a similar gathering place. That observation sparked a simple question: "Why don'...

At 3 p.m., on this upcoming Monday, what will you be doing? Packing up belongings from an extended weekend camping trip? Clearing leftover barbecue and potato salad from the picnic table?

In more than 1,500 communities across the nation, the lonely echo of “Taps” will resonate though the air at that time, as part of the Nat...
The Legislature passed the budget bills this past week containing its recommendations for the fiscal year 2025-2026 & fiscal year 2026-2027 biennial budget.

When the Legislature convened in January, senators initially faced an estimated $432 million shortfall for the next two years, a number that soon grew. A large part of the increased deficit, but not all, came because the state’s ec...
With the exception of being a state trooper, the toughest job in state government in my estimation is working as a corrections officer in a state prison. You're dealing with a population of men and women who, for the most part, are adept at manipulation and have some history in assaultive behavior. Corrections officers deal with a difficult group of people while trying to steer inmates to a better, law-abiding life. It's a tough job, made tougher by the decades-long overcrowding to state prisons...
