Back in the day, reporters used to be able to hitch a ride with the governor or National Guard to the site of a disastrous tornado or flood. One of those trips involved a flight to Coleridge, in northeast Nebraska, after a tornado had destroyed two farm homes and damaged several residences on the north edge of the town. At one of the farms, the owner stood just outside the now-bare foundation where his house once stood. The house was gone. “It could have been worse,” he said. No one had bee...

Over the years, I covered more than one effort by the Nebraska Legislature to redraw the boundaries of districts for state legislators and U.S. congressional representatives, among others, due to shifts in the state's population. Those efforts, according to the State Constitution, always follow the latest U.S. Census, which happens at the beginning of each decade. There's a lot of data to pour through, and the process, in my opinion, becomes the most partisan exercise in the mostly nonpartisan...

As we're reminded over and over, Nebraska doesn't have mountains like Colorado and Wyoming, and doesn't have the beaches of California or Florida. That's one of the reasons, we're told, the Cornhusker State is among the least visited of all the states. I even heard this during a recent distillery tour out in Kentucky: "You're from Nebraska!" the tour guide exclaimed. "Isn't that the least-visited state in the union?" Geez. But we have an abundance of rivers in our state. From the "mile wide and...

As a young reporter, I got the opportunity to cover, and learn a few things, from maybe the greatest state senator ever, Jerome Warner. He was the kind of state senator who just commanded respect, and unlike some politicians, had a well-formed group of beliefs that guided his decision making. For instance, one was that user fees should finance certain aspects of government. For example, roads. The primary users of roads and highways should pay for them, Warner reasoned. Thus, he believed that...

Like a comet that swings by the earth every few years, there's been talk now and then about placing some huge development between Omaha and Lincoln along the Platte River. Between the state's two largest cities would be an ideal location for a new football stadium for the Cornhuskers, the reasoning goes. An airport there would attract more flights to and from our state. And wouldn't a huge lake look great along Interstate 80 in that spot? Back in the day, the idea was to dam up the Platte River...
The State of Nebraska has more than 200 boards and commissions staffed by professionals and regular citizens. They deal with a broad range of subjects, from the recently-created Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementia Advisory Council and State Child Death Review Team, to more recognizable boards, such as the Board of Parole and Board of Trustees for State Colleges. The governor gets to appoint members to many of these boards and the appointments often go to supporters of the governor and people...
