The Nebraska Supreme Court is deliberating a lawsuit concerning the legality of a newly enacted school voucher program that allows taxpayer funding for private K-12 education. The court must determine if a ballot measure aimed at repealing this law violates the Nebraska Constitution's prohibition on voter initiatives that overturn legislative appropriations. Attorney Tom Venzor argued that the repeal initiative is unconstitutional as it targets the voucher program but not its accompanying appropriations bill. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Bob Evnen, who initially certified the ballot measure after confirming it met the signature requirement, has indicated he may decertify it unless the Supreme Court rules in favor of keeping it on the ballot. This situation has raised concerns about whether voters will have a chance to reject the law, which has been supported primarily by Republican lawmakers. The court's decision is expected by Friday, ahead of the deadline for finalizing the November ballot.
