Nebraska Legislators Deadlocked on Budget

Nebraska Lawmakers locked horns once again and failed to advance a bill intended to address the effect of declining state revenue on the budget.
Again, the issue is federal Title X funding.
Senator Sue Crawford of Bellevue argued against language that would restrict the money to only clinics which do NOT perform abortions. . .

Senator Suzanne Geist of Lincoln, though, says the language is necessary. . .

An effort to overcome a filibuster failed. Legislators could return to budget debate again this week.
