You know it’ll be worth a click when hammering Hank gets excited.
There it is, @mutualofomaha is headed to the site of the current downtown library in #Omaha.

@NE_Examiner scoop from @cgonzalez_NE, @PaulHammelNE and me:

And so is a streetcar.

Today I’ll live tweet the press conference Mayor @Jean_Stothert is holding to announce a new downtown development. @NE_Examiner Image
Mayor is up front with the CEO of @mutualofomaha, James Blackledge, for the announcement. Mayor leads off that city is going to build a street car. On one end, the riverfront park on 10th, all the way to @unmc.
Stothert: Says paying for the streetcar will not require a tax increase. I had said we couldn't build a streetcar when the streets were full of potholes. We fulfilled that promise. That bond issue began work.

A new nonprofit #Nebraska news site is born. @NE_Examiner.

Why is Nebraska’s @nfmtweets smaller than some in other states? Might the store move to find more room?

Let @cgonzalez_NE and @NE_Examiner spin you a yarn:

I’m going to selfishly share my first story for @NE_Examiner, from yesterday’s hearing on #Nebraska’s lawsuit against #Omaha about the health director’s mask mandate.

This story will update when the judge rules, likely by lunch today.

Covering the mask mandate lawsuit today in #Omaha for @NE_Examiner. A handful of protesters gathered outside.
There are likely to be no lawyers in the courtroom, other than the judge. We aren’t allowed to live-tweet. But I’ll take some notes and share later.
I’m hiding in the corner for a bit.

Little question what’s happening today.

Signs point to State Sen. Carol Blood of Bellevue running for #Nebraska governor.

She’s the first Democrat in the race to replace @GovRicketts in 2022.
I’ll be covering this today for @3NewsNowOmaha.
The folks introducing Blood talked about her focus on policy and results, her love of debate, and a focus on getting young people involved.

20 years ago today, I was woken up as a young night reporter by my colleague and friend @cory_golden, who told me to turn on the TV. I saw the damage of the first tower, in a city and region I visited often because my mom's family called it home.
Then the second plane hit. We all knew war was coming, and there was work to be done. I remember the conversations with first responders, soldiers and airmen from those days. The anger. Fear. And resolve.
But the thing I remember most is the sense of national unity and purpose. I'd grown up in a time of relative prosperity that had given way to political sniping and divide. Then, as now, people wondered if we could come together again as a people.
