Matthew Wurstner returns to discuss everyone's favorite subject: taxes. Earlier this year, the Nebraska State Legislature passed what Governor Ricketts called the biggest tax relief measures in Nebraska history. Taxes come up a lot here in assessing quality of life, what a competitive tax climate might mean for retaining young people in the age of brain drain, and in general how our taxes here look compared to similar states. Specifically, Wurstner talks about recent legislative bills 873 and 310 and what they mean for the average Nebraskan and why, even if it doesn't sound exciting, people should pay attention to the shifting tax landscape. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/riversidechats/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/riversidechats/support

COVID-19 update: Boosters, HIPAA, and lessons learned from those who've been treating patients and fighting for public health for the last 18 months. NOISE's Ashley Salem and Emily Chen-Newton sit down with two heavy-hitters of public health and medical expertise to bring you an accurate update on everything from the COVID-19 vaccine boosters to self-care during this time. Dr. Ali Khan, Dean of the College of Public Health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center speaks about the differences between the vaccines and he touches on the complicated topic of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). He explains that public health information is typically exempt from HIPAA, and so it should not be used as a reason to restrict the information publically available about rising case numbers in Nebraska; though it has been used in just this way in recent weeks by NE government officials including Governor Ricketts and the Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Jasmine Marcelin, who has been treating COVID-19 patients for over 18 months now as an infectious disease physician shares some of the heaviness she's experienced as a Black female physician seeing the disproportionate impact on Black and Brown communities over the past year and a half. Produced/Reported by Emily Chen-Newton and Ashley Salem of NOISE. Produced by Figure Podcasts.

In Arnold, there is only one reliable internet provider – but even then, it's sometimes not good enough. For Carson, the issue is not just one of comfort but of trying to grow her small town. CHERYL 3: “Those kinds of jobs that you could get working from home, while the kids are at school, that could be a really important thing for some families to be able to do stuff like just as if you were in a larger community.” (0:10)NUTGRAF: If you ask, you quickly learn that broadband is not just a nice thing to have but, rather, a necessity in today's way of life – even in the most remote parts of the state. It's places and towns like these in rural Nebraska that could stand to gain the most from reliable internet and programs that make that happen.Expanding high speed internet access in Nebraska is not a new subject. STUBBENDIECK 4: “Ok, Governor Ricketts, my first question is why is broadband or high speed internet so important to the state of Nebraska in your opinion?” (0:06)RICKETTS 5: “Well, one of the key things for us with regard to broadband is that it really facilitates many of the things that we take for granted in more of our urban areas.” (0:12)Earlier this month, AARP Nebraska hosted a tele-town hall with Gov. Ricketts to talk about broadband. AARP polling found that nearly 80 percent of Nebraska voters 50 and older believe elected officials should work to make high speed internet available to the entire state.

Day 396 of 15 days to flatten the curve. Governor Ricketts added Nebraska to the list of second amendment sanctuary states with a gubernatorial proclamation yesterday. Democrats in both the House and Senate are preparing a bill to add 4 more justices to the Supreme Court...huh, maybe that is why neither Biden nor Harris would answer questions about packing the court. The still-unnamed police officer who shot unarmed Ashli Babbitt will not be charged. I find it very strange that we still do not know who fired that fatal shot over three months ago. The House Oversight Committee passed HR51 to make Washington DC a state on party-line votes. The full house vote is next. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/libertylighthouse/message

Thank you Farmer Todd, our executive producer for Episode 70 of Bowl After Bowl!  This is a value-for-value podcast meaning no advertisements, just the sweet reciprocation of love from bowlers like YOU.  As always, thank you nodebit and VoidZero for the Bowl's lovely infrastructure and to Sir Bemrose for putting our live show on the No Agenda Stream.  Last but certainly not least, thank you GWFF the KoK for joining us in our latest episode of Bowls with Buds.    Across the pond, an active police officer was arrested in connection with a 33-year-old woman's disappearance. But back in America, 15 cats turned into 33 and the Derek Chauvin trial has a 33-person cap in the courtroom, including sequestered witnesses.   South Carolina was the only state reporting 33 COVID deaths this week, but a 33-year-old man did become the first confirmed case of the South African variant in Delhi.  Also, a Florida healthcare worker gave birth to the first baby with confirmed antibodies after receiving the first dose of the Moderna vaccine at 36 weeks pregnant.   Behind the curtain, we congratulate Oregon for establishing America's first psilocybin mushroom advisory board and discuss the findings of a harm reduction survey in Charleston, West Virginia of which only 33% of recipients responded.     In England, a 33-year-old man was charged with "drug offenses" after a thermal imaging camera discovered his 500-plant grow house.   Legislation to legalize an adult use market in Mexico is heading back to the Senate after House lawmakers made changes to its language and voted overwhelmingly in favor of it.  Missouri could see a recreational market too as Kansas City area dispensary owners are launching a petition to put rec on the 2022 ballot.    Legislation to cap THC have cropped up in Colorado, Florida, Montana, and Washington now.  A bill creating a legislative alternative to the medical marijuana program voters approved last year was killed in the Mississippi House.  Unfortunately, Reefer Madness is alive and well as Nebraska's Governor Ricketts said that if you legalize marijuana, "you're going to kill your kids."     A bill to legalize recreational weed was introduced in the Rhode Island senate and the governor proposed it in the fiscal-year 2022 budget.  New Mexico's House Bill 12 to legalize recreational weed only needs one more committee vote before the full Senate takes up the bill.    Assembly Bill 130 was introduced by a Wisconsin senator to reduce possession fines and eliminate imprisonment for citizens posession up to 10 grams.  Their governor also slipped legalization into the state budget.    If you think 10 grams is too low,  just remember possession of only 3 grams are decriminalized in Hawaii.  The Hawaii Senate voted to approve two reform bills.  The first increases the decriminalization threshold to 30 grams and grants expungements while the other would legalize and regulate the commercial market.   The Ohio Supreme Court set a precedent that state regulators can't ignore applications to expand medical cultivation facilities and the voter-approved medical marijuana program has a higher chance of being implemented in South Dakota after lawmakers failed to compromise on a measure to delay legalization.  Backers of the voter-approved recreational measure also filed their first arguments to the Supreme Court.   In just 10 days, Arizona's recreational sales hit $2.9 million and received 377 applications with a non-refundable $25,000 for 13 licenses.  Since its 2014 program launch, Colorado sales topped $10 billion.  Michigan is spending $20 million of its recreational tax revenue to support medical research, as stipulated in their law, while California is awarding $15 million in social equity grants.  Maybe they've got money to figure out how to keep their seed-to-sale tracking system up and running.    A 33-year-old Missouri masseuse got his second sodomy charge while an angler in the state reeled in a 112-pound black carp.  In Wisconsin, dogs and camping chairs went for a drive.  A British man set a new record for drinking a pouch of Capri Sun in a little more than 16 seconds and a Tennessee woman is waiting for her world record verification for her 16,000-item Winnie the Pooh collection.  Meanwhile, if you like gardening in Minecraft you could begin making $70 an hour.   Bowlers discuss the first time they ever got a thrift score.  Next week's FTIE is the first time I ever moved.  Share the story of YOUR first move in a voicemail or a text message for the voice shy: (816) 607-3663.   HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
