The Nebraska Legislature is questioning the line-item vetoes made by Governor Jim Pillen regarding the biennial budget, asserting that the constitution was not followed. The Speaker of the Legislature has refused to accept these vetoes, citing state law, while additional complications arise as the vetoes were submitted to the wrong office. A potential deadline miss by the governor has left the vetoes in limbo, and the Legislature is contemplating significant budget cuts to address a deficit. Amid the ongoing tensions, officials are voicing concerns over how recent cuts to public health funding could result in layoffs and service gaps.
