Prairie dog control was debated in the Nebraska Unicameral with two different views of the animal evident.
Senator Tom Brewer of Gordon sees them as pests, but understands others see them as cute. Brewer supports a state law to control their colonies. . .

Senator Ernie Chambers of Omaha says the law goes too far, giving counties too much authority. Chambers says that can lead to assessments against the property owner which can become serious if the property owner refuses to comply. . .

Chambers fell four votes short of the total needed to advance his repeal attempt.
