Nebraska Politics & Elections: Good Government Lincoln submitted new signatures for three Lincoln City Charter amendments after an earlier petition drive was rejected by Lancaster County election officials; the proposals would shift city elections to even-numbered years, limit council members to two consecutive four-year terms, and expand voting to residents in Lincoln’s three-mile extraterritorial zoning area (but not for bond elections).

State Policy & Courts: Nebraska’s petition fraud inquiry expanded to cover all 2026 statewide ballot measures, with Lancaster County also tied to signature-related arrests. Weather: A dense fog advisory is set for early Thursday in the Omaha area, with sunshine later and storm chances returning Friday into the weekend. Agriculture & Markets: Pro Farmer’s crop tour day 3 reported lower corn yields and soybean pod counts in parts of Illinois and western Iowa, while grain futures moved higher overnight with December corn above $5. Business & Tech: Amazon says Prime Air drone delivery will expand to nearly 500 U.S. cities and towns by year-end, including Nebraska in its current footprint. Public Safety: Norfolk Police and Madison County Sheriff’s Office will join “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” during Labor Day weekend.
