Urge your senator to oppose cuts for the top personal and corporate income tax rates. This would do little to nothing for most Nebraskans, while depleting revenue needed to reduce property taxes, and jeopardizing education funding. #NELeg ow.ly/kdNc30oeeT2

Northeast Omahans: Get storm-damaged tree limbs to the curb by Monday. Mayor Stothert has OK’d a second round of curbside tree debris pickup — in the neighborhoods outlined below. This is YOUR last chance for FREE curbside pickup. Limbs must be along curb - not in yards.

Mulroney on proposed industrial park: we will not use eminent domain to take your home. Will the Mayor use eminent domain? asks skeptical audience member. No direct answer except that ‘we aren’t the mayor and we don’t have legal authority to use eminent domain.’

Breaking news: Korean Air says turbulence on its flights has doubled since 2019. We know there's more turbulence in the atmosphere from climate change, but (as far as I'm aware) this is the first airline admission of increased turbulence on flights. (Also, no more noodles!)

Omaha is one of these cities. Point of clarification-in terms of this summation— the effort is not due to global warming’s heavier rainfalls. But yes, success is more difficult to accomplish bc of our now wetter world. These projects were forced on cities by Clean Water Act.

Until the late 1990s, Omaha was home to a massive lead refinery that emitted tons of ‘bioavailable lead’ into the air. Wouldn’t it be a fascinating to find out if educational outcomes improved and unusually high special Ed/delinquency rates dropped for those born after that?

Iowa, like Nebraska, allows building in flood plains. Both states have seen repeat catastrophic flooding in the last 20-30 years. (PS this is true of every state. Developers love floodplains bc they are cheaper to build on)
