AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Nebraska Tax & Budget: Nebraska’s August tax receipts came in above forecast for the first time in months, with sales and use taxes running 16% over projections, adding about $7.6 million to the state’s coffers. Local Government Accountability: A new state audit says Lancaster County Treasurer’s Office accounting “blunders” and mishandling of local tax revenues total nearly $1 billion, though the treasurer says no taxpayer money was lost. Flood Resilience: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is partnering with local governments on a feasibility study to improve flood-control protections for the lower Big Sioux River, including the McCook Lake area hit in 2024. Energy Costs: Nebraska farmers are bracing for harvest with diesel near record highs, and GasBuddy reports show pockets of cheaper regular gas across the state even as diesel remains elevated. Ag Tech & Data Centers: UNL launched a digital ag hub to connect producers and reduce siloed platforms, while farmers are debating risks and resource demands from data centers. Nonprofit & Community: Greater Grand Island Community Foundation and UNL will host nonprofit financial leadership training in October, and Nebraska groups are rallying to address diaper need affecting 1 in 3 households. Business & Finance: BOK Financial set its Q3 2026 earnings call date, and a crypto mining firm is expected to open in South Sioux City.
