Good morning, Lincoln.

On Tuesday afternoon, a small plane made a rough landing at Lincoln Airport after its landing gear collapsed—emergency crews worked to clear the runway while all six on board remained unharmed.

A fire broke out on the second floor of the Parkview Apartments near 9th and Belmont on Tuesday, May 27 — residents evacuated as firefighters arrived shortly after 9 a.m. to extinguish the flames and begin investigating the cause.

Firefighters quickly contained a fire in a second-floor hallway at Parkview Apartments on Tuesday morning at 11th Street and Cornhusker Highway — investigators suspect that an accelerant was used while no one was injured and the first and third floors were not damaged.

Gov. Jim Pillen withdrew his planned $14.5 million line-item vetoes from Nebraska’s two-year budget on Tuesday—resolving a constitutional dispute as lawmakers now move forward with the budget passed on May 15.

Pillen, Secretary of State Bob Evnen and Speaker John Arch said the decision leaves the veto targets moot and sets up budget adjustment talks when lawmakers reconvene in 2026.

Nebraska lawmakers advanced a legislative proposal to ban most consumable hemp and THC products by a vote of 32-15 on Tuesday.

The bill would bar raw hemp with more than 0.3% THC and allow a safe harbor period until the end of 2025 while lawmakers plan further changes before the session ends on June 9.

State Sen. Jane Raybould attached her minimum wage proposal—limiting annual raises to 1.75% and adding a youth minimum wage—to Sen. Beau Ballard’s paid sick leave bill after her stand-alone measure was dropped due to time constraints.

Lawmakers will soon consider the combined proposals under a tight schedule to avoid a future petition targeting both measures.
