Good morning, Lincoln.

Lancaster County District Judge Susan Strong set former Seward County deputy Anthony Gann’s trial to begin on Feb.

9, 2026—after he filed another motion to continue the case—following his April 2024 indictment for the fatal shooting of Jorge Luis Santana-Ramirez on I-80.

A USDA report shows Nebraska corn farmers are expected to plant 10.6 million acres of corn this season—an investment of nearly $3.1 billion in seed, fuel and fertilizer over two months.

Farmers will complete planting by mid-May and officials urge drivers to watch for slow-moving equipment on rural roads.

Nebraska's highest-paid superintendents earned six or more times what first-year teachers made, a state auditor said in a letter to lawmakers on Monday—figures that show even small districts paid more than national averages.

The letter noted large pay gaps at districts in Lincoln, Omaha, and Fremont—details that highlight a persistent disparity in education salaries.

North Star High School senior Chase Strohmyer’s runner-up artwork 'Holy Bikes' will soon be hung in Congressman Mike Flood’s Capitol office—he plans to study photography at the University of Nebraska after graduating.

City planners are moving closer to making South Haymarket a historic district near downtown as the City Council will vote on the proposal on April 28.

The plan adds the property at 631 L St. & offers tax credits and relaxed floodplain rules for redevelopment.

On Tuesday morning, U.S. Senators Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts met with the Nebraska Farm Bureau to urge Congress to renew the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) before it expires later this year.

Sen. Fischer said that if the law ends, an average family of four making $80,000 will face a $1,700 tax hike and a $1,000 drop in the Child Tax Credit per child, which could affect farms and ranches (80% are family-owned).
