Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman says he plans to finish strong.
Heineman says he isn’t really concerned about tying up any loose ends as his 10-year term as governor comes to a close. . .


Heineman says one of the main topics he is tackling in his last weeks as governor is prison overcrowding.
Heineman says he and his staff has been meeting with the prison working group on how to lower the prison population.
Heineman says the legislature must review inconsistent sentencing across Nebraska. . .


Heineman suggests those short-term prisoners could serve out their terms in county jails rather than state prisons.
