Nebraska lawmakers have only one more day to introduce bills in their budget-cutting special session.

Friday is the last day senators can introduce bills to help deal with a projected $334 million shortfall in the state's two-year budget.

A dozen bills have been introduced so far since the session began on Wednesday.

The Appropriations Committee will continue hearings on Friday to learn about the impact of the cuts Gov. Dave Heineman proposed.

Why doesn't the governor and his top aides take a pay cut to help the budget. It is easy to sit back and decide other peoples fate. If you continue furloughs or cut jobs, people WON'T have the money to spend and therefore, tax revenues will go or stay down!!! There is also government waste that can be found!
