Budget debate in the Nebraska Unicameral has stalled as charges are made that Governor Pete Ricketts violated the constitution in cutting the budget without legislative approval.
Senator Bob Krist of Omaha says the Governor had no right to make budget cuts on his own. . .

Appropriations Committee chair, Senator John Stinner of Gering, rejects the suggestion. . .

Stinner backs a bill that would approve most of the cuts enacted by the governor. Debate on the bill picks up again tomorrow.
