The first person who waved LJS photographer Kenny F. and I through at the Trump/Herbster rally was Fanchon Blythe from #LNK, who told us we are from the “Urinal Star.” #original
Talked with Thomas Sullivan from Plattsmouth who said he came to see Trump, who he believes could “say something historic.”

Sullivan said he was a Herbster voter until the allegations made against him. Now he’s “50-50.”
This gentleman literally has tin foil on his MAGA cap. Image
Here’s the line before 3 pm when the doors open. People are still milling about on what I’m calling the midway. Image

GREENWOOD — We’re a little more than an hour away from Charles Herbster speaking at a rally at I-80 Speedway that was rescheduled from Friday due to severe weather.

Trump is scheduled to appear at 5 pm. Image
A dance party has broken out up front, as others wait in line. I believe they are going to fill out the bleachers and some standing room only areas in the wings.
Herbster is speaking with reporters in the press section. Here he is being interviewed by OAN.

Hearing the speakers are being moved back to 3 pm, which I’m sure means Trump will be later as well. Image

A few people have left, but there’s a lot of confusion. People still standing around. Image

This is the most media I’ve seen at a University of Nebraska Board of Regents meeting. The boardroom is also at overflow right now. Meeting will begin at 9 am.
Here’s a bad pano:
Today's meeting is starting with remarks from state Sen. John Stinner of Gering, who is the Appropriations Committee chair. Stinner is a 1973 UNL grad (and member of 1970-71 national champ w/ Huskers) who has worked with admin on keeping tuition flat this year.

A handful of #neleg state senators are raising objections to the governor's appointees to the State Health Board. Sixteen of 17 members are men. Sen. Justin Wayne says the lack of representation is geographic: No board members work in communities of color.
Sen. Megan Hunt says the Legislature has abdicated its oversight responsibility for many of these boards. She says they have become a place for political donors and backers, and lawmakers don't exercise their authority to prevent that from happening.
According to Hunt, many of the appointees senators are asked to approve are discussed the morning of the vote in a "frantic group text." Doesn't seem ideal!

A bill (LB639) from Sen. Jen Day would require schools to designate an employee who is prepared to respond if a student has an epileptic seizure. All Nebraska schools would be required to appoint someone to take the free training.
Opponents have said they have a problem with the state mandating "one more thing" to local schools, and that it removes discretion from district leaders; they also take issue that private, parochial and nondenominational would also be required.
Day said parents/students who suffer from epilepsy have pointed to gaps in how schools respond to seizures, and that her bill would help make students safe inside the school walls. Supporters have said this training would be similar to others (CPR, peanut allergy) already req'd.

The State of Nebraska is suing #AltEn for violations of the Nebraska Environmental Protection Act and Nebraska Integrated Solid Waste statutes. AG Doug Peterson says the company has made it clear it won't comply with administrative orders.
Peterson says the 97-page complaint details repeated violations by AltEn

"It's one of the clear cases of a corporation coming in and failing to be a good partner with the state of Nebraska," he says.
"This is a company that is terribly managed," Gov. Pete Ricketts says.

Governor says now with the lawsuit, NDEE Chief Jim Macy can say more and attend town hall in Mead.
