Rather, it is for purposes of history, education, and public information about the development of highways in Nebraska. THE AUTHOR George E. "Dutch" Koster, a fourth-generation Nebraskan and former Secretary to the State Highway Commission (1972-1975), was assigned to the Project Development Division at the Department of Roads headquarters in Lincoln.

  • Omaha World Herald (Nebraska)
    Omaha World Herald (Nebraska) January 20, 1992, Monday METRO EDITION Death Penalty Foes Watch Support Slip Death Penalty Chronology BYLINE: Jason Gertzen SOURCE: World-Herald Bureau SECTION: ;NEWS; Pg. 1; LENGTH: 1300 words DATELINE: Lincoln State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha and some other lawmakers said public pressure is the reason that Chamber's bill to abolish the death penalty has lost support. The bill started out with 25 co-sponsors, enough to pass a bill. But now, as few as 17 support it. Intense public debate has been generated by a series of appeals filed on behalf of death row inmate Harold Lamont Otey. "The people who are trying to get Otey into the chair have made the difference," Chambers said. Chambers' Legislative Bill 327 is to be considered again this week. However, Speaker of the Legislature Dennis Baack and most other lawmakers questioned said the bill's chances of passage are slim. The measure would change the state's maximum sentence for first-degree murder from death to life in prison without possibility of parole. The bill acknowledges that the sentences would be subject to the constitutional authority of the State Pardons Board to grant clemency. "In my opinion, it will be defeated," said Baack, who supports the measure.Now Opposed Sens. Dan Lynch of Omaha and Stan Schellpeper of Stanton indicated in recent interviews that they probably would vote against the bill. Four other co-sponsors of the bill - Sens. Eric Will and Brad Ashford of Omaha, Sen. Jennie Robak of Columbus and Sen. Arlene Nelson of Grand Island - have said they either would oppose the bill or are undecided 1 about the issue.

The commission's mission is "to do all things which it may determine to enhance the cause of Indian rights and to develop solutions to problems common to all Nebraska Indians." The commission serves the state liaison between the four headquarter tribes of the Omaha, Ponca, Santee Sioux and Winnebago Tribes of Nebraska. The commission also helps to ensure the sovereignty of both tribal and state governments are recognized and acted upon in a true government-to-government relationship. The commission assists off-reservation Indian communities by assuring the right to equitable opportunities in the areas of housing, employment, education, health care, economic development and human/civil rights within Nebraska. The collection consists of the following subgroups: 1) Correspondence, 1970-1993 2) Legislation, 1964-1994 3) Commission Members and Meeting Minutes, 1970-1990 4) Topic and Subject Files, 1970-1995 (Arranged in Alphabetical Order) 5) Statistical Data Files, 1970-1991 6) Printed Materials, 1970-1993 7) Photographs/Images, 1866-1991 ***Note: Photographs/Images have been transferred to NSHS Curator of Photographs 1 SUBGROUP ONE CORRESPONDENCE (total of 5 boxes) Box 1, 1970-1972 f.
