The wheel tax is generally the second highest of the motor vehicle taxes and fees paid by owners of newer cars and trucks every year as part of the registration process. The largest tax for people with newer vehicles is the state motor vehicle tax, which is based on the man- suggested retail price. That money is split among the county, school district and city. Eventually, the motor ve- hicle tax drops to just a few dollars for cars older than 14 years. The wheel tax rate, however, change.

The wheel tax rev- enue next year will be di- vided among more than half a dozen programs, based on city budget documents: $2.5 million for resi- dential rehabilitation and intersection improvements. $7.3 million for roadway and bridge rehabilitation. $250,000 for the East Beltway, to protect the fu- ture corridor. $2.2 million for Old Cheney, Warlick intersec- tion improvements. $1.9 million for Old Cheney, 70th to 82nd streets.

$2.1 million for studies, preliminary engineering, right-of-way, construction and computer records. $520,000 for sidewalk maintenance and repair. wheel tax began in 1958 at $4 for cars. This is the second multi- year increase. The council approved a series of three automatic increases in 2003 that raised the wheel tax from $39 to $54 between 2003 and 2010.

Brad Ashford and encouraging him to consider running for Nebraska attorney So, the Democrats still do not have a Senate candidate. OK, back to the scram- bled egg. been tra in both directions in this Re- publican gubernatorial race.

People come and people go. The two big-name guys who were going to duke it out for the GOP nomina- tion are gone. Rick Sheehy disappeared when he resigned as lieuten- ant governor under re. Mike Flood, the former speaker of the Legislature, withdrew when his wife, Mandi, was diagnosed with cancer, and months later he rea rmed that decision by declining to return to the race. Last week, Charles Herb- ster joined them on the sidelines by withdrawing from the contest in the wake of his heart surgery.

Herbster was not a big name like Flood and Sheehy, but he had the resources to be- come a big-time player, already having lured cam- paign wizard Carlos Castil- lo away from state govern- ment to manage his bid. But this revolving door also brings people in as oth- er people exit. Beau sudden entry into the race minutes after Herbster departed the scene introduced a new dy- namic into a contest that now includes three state senators with heavy hitter Pete Ricketts on the way. McCoy is the guy on that list closest to Gov. Dave Heineman, his priori- ties and policies.

Charlie Janssen is the early-bird candidate been out there for months, scoring points with hot- button issues such as illegal immigration and gun rights. Tom Carlson is the other Republican state senator in the race. Ricketts will bring re- sources and name recogni- tion and an accomplished campaign team to this battle. And that revolving door might not stop spinning there. McCoy is an interesting candidate at age 32.

The youngest governor in modern times was Bob Ker- rey, elected in 1982 when he was 39. Bob Crosby was 41; Norbert Tiemann was 42. Nebraska Democrats will have a contested guberna- torial race featuring former University of Nebraska Re- gent Chuck Hassebrook and state Sen. Annette Dubas. And that makes four members of the Legislature who will be seeking the gov- ernorship during the 2014 legislative session when big issues such as future state tax policy and proposed Medicaid expansion hit the fan.

Fun for Ernie and the media. Not so much fun for lob- byists who already have the task of trying to deal with all the competing personalities and egos and ambitions and personal agendas and prior- ities that already are in play. Where are the Lincoln candidates? Good question from a friend who points out that ve of the past seven gov- ernors hailed from Lincoln. Three of them later were elected to the Senate. There is not a single Lin- colnite in the 2014 guber- natorial and Senate races thus far.

Here we go. Classes resume at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln Monday. Football resumes on a hot Saturday night at the end of the week. Here comes the vitality and energy, and Lincoln is more ready for all of that than ever before. And this is going to con- tinue into basketball season this year.

Then the spot- light focuses more narrowly on the Haymarket, which will be jumping into March. No more stumbling through the dark on cold nights toward the Dev- aney Sports Center, an iso- lated outpost, for Husker basketball. And, amazingly, no emp- ty seats. OK, give me points. I say arena until just now.

Finishing up we find a way to make the proposed ice cen- ter work while John generous $7 million gift is still on the table? When I cover a big event featuring a major political fig- ure, perhaps six or seven me- dia people are there. When the Huskers hold a media event, the figure is closer to 30.

Then nature took over. the years it Pinkerton said. The annuals return after that first year, but the perennials came in fuller and stronger, the mixture changing texture and color every year.

The area looked a little wild and wooly, Pinkerton said, and he sure if people would like the look of the native flowers and grass- es, so different from tightly mowed grasses or daylilies. But once everything start- ed to grow, Pinkerton said he heard no complaints. As an added bonus the flowers were inexpensive and tough, requiring very little maintenance. want to be really con- servative about water Pinkerton said. Now the Lumberworks parking garage will stand in their place.
