state agencies, several state senators said Monday at the
final legislative brcaktast oi tne year, ai me iNenrasKa
Center for Continuing Lducation.
Tlie breakfast, attended by Lincoln Sens. Dave Landis,
Steve Fowler, Chris Beutler, Don Wcsely and Shirley
Marsh, and Waverly Sen. Jerome Warner, began "Lincoln
Loves the Legislature" week.
Between 80 and 100 citizens and businessmen attended
the breakfast and voiced their opinions about bills and
issues ranging from the Legislature's commitment to the
city, to bills about education, and the New Federalism.
Landis emphasized his commitment to help cities fin
ance their agencies. City government should be freed from
excessive state regulation, Landis said. Cities should be
free from a sales tax lid, and should be given a chance to
choose for themselves how to finance their agencies. In
addition, he said, formulas for state aid to cities should
be equitable and not favor rural towns, as they do now.
State services first
"However, if it is a question of using our state budget
dollars we've raised through taxes, ultimately I think we
have to fund state services first, and use those (tax dollars)
to accomplish our constitutional obligations," Landis said.
Warner also said the state government should receive
tax dollars before any other government level. Warner said
he would not support LB591 , which would allow the city
of Lincoln to increase the city's sales tax. Warner said be
cause the city's tax is tied to the state's tax, an increase in
the city's sales tax rate would have an adverse affect on
the state's ability to adjust tax rates.
Both Beutler and Landis voiced support for LB628, the
educational equity bill. The bill is designed to prohibit
discrimination by sex in education and make up for the
loss of the federal Title IX program.
Beutler also said he supports LB946, which allows the
state to make up for the loss in federal loans for second
ary education.
Education right
"It is my feeling that every student, from a janitor's
daughter to the daughter of a doctor, has the right and
ought to have access to secondary education," Buetler
said.
Fowler said quibbling over a 1 percent increase in the
state tax rate has left little time for the Appropriations
Committee to help state agencies.
"One only has to look over the argument of increasing
the tax rate by 1 percent to see how ill-prepared we are
to meet the issues facing us," Fowler said.
Fowler said the Legislature ought to look at how the
state will be affected by the New Federalism before en
dorsing it.
Fowler said Nebraskans should ask themselves if they
arc willing to pay the extra costs in state taxes in order
to keep state agencies.
Emergencies,
lack of funds
delay repairs
Because of a lack of
funds in the NU budget,
"C" priority maintenance
work will be back-logged
until July 1 , the start of the
new fiscal year.
"We've had some emer
gencies come up," said
maintenance manager Jerry
Delhay. "There have been
some things like power out
ages and steam outages
where we have had 'o call
iii men to work weekends
on overtime."
These emergencies, Del
hay said, have put a strain
on the budget and caused
a management decision to
delay all but necessary
work.
According to Delhay,
"C" priority work is that
which is non-essential to the
safety and performance of
the buildings. He mentioned
painting as an example.
Delhay stressed that the
"C" priority delay, in effect
since Feb. 1, will not cause
any work to be left undone
that would hinder classes or
alter the building environ
ment. Delhay said the new bud
get year will allow main
tenance workers to start do
ing the work they've back-logged.
