(WOWT) – Senators from Nebraska and Iowa joined their fellow Republicans voting against a bill to ensure the availability of fertility treatment, including in-vitro fertilization.

Thursday’s final vote tally on S. 4445, termed the Right to IVF Act, was 48-47, largely along party lines. Five senators abstained from voting — two Democrats, one Republican, and two Independents.

Here’s how Nebraska and Iowa senators voted Thursday:

• Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb.: NAY
• Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb.: NAY
• Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa: NAY

This week on Corn Nation Overreaction, Greg and Hoss are revisiting the September 30, 2023 loss to eventual national champion Michigan.

Hoss calls Greg out on his Kool-Aid consumption as he explains passing on the opportunity to attend this game, sit in the 93-degree heat, and watch the Huskers get their brains bashed in 45-7.

Joshua Fleeks provides Nebraska’s only score late in the contest as JJ McCarthy and Blake Corum have a field day at Memorial Stadium. And the guys compare the 2023 loss to the 2021 loss, which Hoss describes as “the best offensive game plan of the Scott Frost era.”

Members get the show 24 hours before everyone else, so if you’re looking for another reason to hang out with the cool kids, there’s one.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KSNB) – Nebraska Racing and Gaming had a meeting with Hastings Exposition and Racing about moving their racing license from Adams to Keith County on Thursday. They have been in this transition for quite some time and were expecting to get approved, but the wait will continue.

The main reason is because Hastings Exposition and Racing didn’t provide documents showing they own the property in Ogallala. Nebraska Racing and Gaming voted 5 to 2 in favor of revisiting the agenda item on July 19.

The questions came when NRGC was reviewing plans and had a query about the size of horse stalls. They asked Chief racing Officer of American Quarter Horse Racing, Janet VanBebber, if 12×10.5 stalls would work and she said yes. The the Racing and Gaming Commission turned their attention to paperwork and noticed there wasn’t anything showing Hastings Exposition had ownership of the property.

Hastings Exposition wanted to keep that information confidential until approval.

Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission is giving Hastings Exposition until June 28 to present the signed agreement. If presented sooner they might not have to wait until July 19 for approval. When they are approved they must build the racetrack within 14 months.
