Nebraska State Issues

As I was reading through the newspapers, I found three key issues that were repeated a lot through Nebraska news papers.

Smoking Ban
Immigration
Gambling

A lot of the articles in the paper focus around the coming of the smoking ban that will go into affect June 1. It is interesting to read these articles and see how the ban has already affected some businesses. Another issue is that of immigration. The article above is a debatable article in which states that Nebraska needs to quickly address the issue. Lastly, I was surfing the web and came across the ever ending issue of gambling in Nebraska. The article above talks about gambling in the sense of what it could do to horse racing...which is something I never really thought about. It talks about how if Nebraska does not address the issue, horse racing will come to an end...pretty interesting! Some other state issues that I came across was that of education for the younger generation, state tuition increases, and of course job losses associated with the downfall of the economy. All very important and interesting issues.
