The new senators are already off to a good start, Fuerst said. “It’s encouraging to see sen ators ready to present legisla tion,” he said. Fuerst said he wants to start passing legislation that expires at the end of each term. Only bylaws stay on the books after a new senate takes over. Fuerst said that he will look at the last three years of legislation for ideas on what bills to debate. Fuerst said he is excited to get to work, but he won't forget who made his job a little easier. "Joel has opened a lot of doors this year that needed to be opened for us to get done what we want to accomplish,” he said.

For a full fiscal year, it could bring $40 million to $70 million in additional dollars to the state, he said. If passed, teachers could see salary increases by September, Wkkersham said. The amount of the pay increase would be determined by die schools, he said. The increase would fund a teacher-pay plan developed by the Education Committee, which would provide $2,000 for every teacher who has tour years of experience or less during the bill’s first yean During the (dan's second year; the state would provide $41 mil lion to schools to boost salaries. Wickersham said while the sales-tax plan is projected to bring in more money than the $41 mil lion, it’s important the state saves the excess money for die future. A plethora of bills relating to teacher pay flooded the Education Committee this year, and Wickersham said he thought the committees were making progress by passing the sales-tax increase. “I think this is a process that has to be taken step by step,” Wickersham said. i % ■ . V ; Ja , - . College savings plan popular Nebraskans interested in set ting money aside for college will have more options if a proposed bill passes through the Legislature. The bill, introduced by Sen. Don Pederson of North Platte, amends the college savings plan, which was passed last year and implemented Jan. 1. Pederson's bill passed the first round of floor debate Wednesday. The plan allows anyone to invest money in a college savings account The money invested is tax deductible and earns interest over time, Pederson said Originally, the plan said the account must be set up by the time the participant is 18 years old and the money must be with drawn by the time the participant is 30. Pederson's bill removes those boundaries, so anyone can start or finish an account at any time Pederson’s bill also removes the stipulation that said the account must be started with a minimum of $300. In its first few months, $3.5 million has been invested and more than 1,500people are partic ipating, Pederson said “It’s really a great plan,” Pederson said. “It's very popular" Gubernatorial candidates would be elected together A constitutional amendment passed by the voters in Nebraska last year will have more definite guidelines if a proposed bill is approved by the Legislature. The bill, introduced by Sen. Ed Schrock of Elm Creek, would make changes to an amendment that states gubernatorial candi dates can choose their lieutenant governor candidates, rather than running separately Schroctfs bill states the guber natorial candidates must choose their lieutenant governor candi dates within 60 days of the pri mary election. Schlock's bill passed through the first round of floor debate Wsdnesday. “I thought there had to be some sort of deadline - it’s the same sort of position that presi dential candidates face," Schrock said.
