A graveyard lies below Mahoney State Park's observation tower. These brown pits used to be soaring, hardy bur oaks, which are some of the most common native trees in Nebraska. What's taking out so many along the eastern side of the state? Story tomorrow. – at Ashland, NE

Reading between the lines, it would appear Sen. Slama has her enthusiasm for @TeamPillen's property tax plan well under control.

Spoiler alert: “The Plan” robs Peter to pay Pillen. Working Nebraskans will be paying more taxes, the property tax cut is 25% at best, and there are NO state spending cuts, all while losing local control of K-12 education. This isn’t a plan. It’s a D+ 9th Grade Civics project.
