Lincoln remains in the "low orange" section of its COVID-19 risk dial, which indicates a low risk of transmission of the virus.
There are 15 new lab-confirmed cases in #LNK; the total number of cases since the pandemic began is is 3,501. To date, 1,628 people have recovered.
Health Director Pat Lopez says the city-county is working with downtown restaurants/bars to provide guidance as they expect more students to frequent those establishments. She calls out Sandy's for doing a good job.
Side note: One time a friend of mine was turned away from Sandy's because he was laughing too loud in line.
Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird says the city is forming a task force to help coordinate efforts to provide flu shots as well as -- hopefully -- COVID-19. More details to come.
Of course, orange = high risk. I apologize for the error.

For the last 5 years, my wife and I (and several neighbors) have been asking #LNK to make our intersection a 4-way stop.

We live near a school route and on a thoroughfare that gets pretty busy. The city has denied our requests, saying it isn't warranted. 1/4
In the last 10 days, there have been 2 crashes at my intersection. One involved a middle school student who was hospitalized with serious injuries, the second was less than an hour ago when a car collided with a school bus in the intersection. Thankfully, no one was hurt. 2/4
A 4-way stop would have prevented both, as well as a previous crash back in '19 that resulted in a car coming to a stop in my neighbor's front yard.

It shouldn't take someone getting killed for city officials to do the right thing and heed the warning of residents. 3/4

Good afternoon from the #neleg, where the Education Committee will conduct a trio of interim hearings related to parental involvement in schools, social-emotion learning, and the use of federal funds for the Launch Nebraska website.

Updates will be in this thread:
Educ Comm. Chair Sen. Dave Murman, the sponsor of the interim hearings, says the hearings were motivated by Westside school officials discussing how they would look for ways around limits put on teaching critical race theory.
Murman says he handed out a packet of screenshots of material he finds objectionable to the committee.

It includes info related to HIV education (I think he objects to references of race, sex, gender), the Trevor Project, culturally relevant teaching.

It's Day 78 of your #neleg and we're nearing debate over a proposal to combine two of the most controversial bills introduced this session:

--A ban on gender-affirming care for Nebraskans under 19
--A ban on abortion after 12 weeks gestation.

Updates will follow in this thread:
Several senators have mentioned they are trying to kill time -- apparently not all of the supporters of the transgender care/abortion ban are here right now.

The trio of senators who introduced a bunch of filibuster motions have pulled them all.
If there are only 32 senators for a cloture vote on LB574, the measure would fail today. The abortion ban amendment would not get attached.

There are a lot of conversations going on underneath the balconies and the breakroom.

On LB77 from Sen. Tom Brewer, which would allow Nebraskans to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, lawmakers got the 33 votes needed to shut off debate.

(Fixed an unfortunate typo in previous tweet.) Image
LB77 passes on final reading 33-14.

Someone in the north balcony starts yelling “Shame” and is escorted from the chamber. Image
Another woman just yelled “We’ll remember you guys” and the said she’d see herself out.

Lt. Gov. Joe Kelly just ordered the balcony cleared.

Jack Riggins, the host Drive Time Lincoln on 1400 KLIN, is not on air this evening. Riggins was apparently behind a tweet by NEGOP last week posting sexual images from a graphic novel. Station management said they are discussing the situation with Riggins.
Drive Time Lincoln is otherwise continuing with guest Matt Innis, who is on to basically defend the NEGOP tweet that the book in question is available in Nebraska schools — something dozens of teachers have said isn’t the case.
Innis is using a letter from the Nebraska Library Association asking the State Board of Education not to censor library books as evidence that the books in question shouldn’t be in schools.

BREAKING: Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana says the pair of initiatives to legalize medical cannabis failed to qualify for the November ballot.
Clarification: The Nebraska Secretary of State says it notified NMM that the ballot initiatives did not qualify.
Both petitions fell well short of the 86,776 signatures needed, and did not hit the 5% threshold in 38 counties, per Evnen's office.
