The Nebraska Legislature met for its first day Wednesday and the hot air has already enveloped the Capitol.

First opinion released by the Nebraska Court of Appeals today is Snow v Snow. Seems appropriate.

The tree has arrived at the State Capitol!

Nebraska Gov. #Pillen orders state employees back to the office in the new year, saying Nebraskans have the "common sense expectation that people are most productive when working together in the office and not remotely."

One day after Ohio voters passed a state constitutional amendment protecting #abortion rights, a Nebraska group announced plans to kick off its abortion rights petition drive next week.
