AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Severe Weather Watch: Central U.S. storm systems are gearing up for a rough stretch through Monday, with tornado risk (including potentially strong ones), large hail, and damaging winds—Nebraska’s eastern areas and the Omaha/Lincoln corridor are in the bullseye Sunday evening. Public Health: The DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day pulled in 19,000+ pounds from 159 drop sites across the Omaha field division, adding to a decade-long push to reduce misuse and accidental poisonings. Broadband Rollout: Nebraska hit a milestone in BEAD deployment with a live connection near Ogallala, delivering 800+ Mbps down and 200+ Mbps up. Local Giving: State Nebraska Bank & Trust in Wayne ran its annual Cook-Off for a Cause, raising $345 for the Wayne Food Pantry. Sports & Schools: Hastings College celebrated its 140th graduating class, while Fort Hays State students swept top honors in regional TV production awards. Business & Money: A new state-by-state analysis shows “middle class” income thresholds vary wildly—what qualifies depends heavily on where you live.
