Sep 2nd
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- The Nebraska State Board of Education has approved a resolution that doesn't mention Medicaid but does ask the governor and lawmakers to oppose unfunded mandates.
The resolution approved Thursday says unfunded mandates should be opposed to protect education funding.
Gov. Dave Heineman had asked education groups to support the repeal of federal health care reform or he would assume they tacitly support a reduction in education funding. A state-commissioned study says state Medicaid costs will increase by hundreds of millions of dollars.
Another study says the cost will be much less.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Four days from its opener with Western Kentucky, eighth-ranked Nebraska still hasn't named a starting quarterback. Will it be Zac Lee, Cody Green or spring sensation Taylor Martinez?
Head Coach Bo Pelini and his staff might know, but they aren't telling. Pelini said today that fans might not know until shortly after kickoff on Saturday, when Nebraska's offense takes the field. The top three quarterbacks are taking an equal number of snaps with the number-1 offense in practices.
