Jim Pillen and AG Mike Hilgers, setting limits on THC strength and product types, restricting smoking/vaping and flower, and capping purchases at 5 ounces in 30 days. Business & Growth: Gov. Pillen highlighted a new “Index of State Economic Momentum” report ranking Nebraska in the top 10 for employment, income and population growth.
