"Nebraska Legislature Fails to Override Governor's Veto of Needle Exchange Bill"

Nebraska lawmakers failed to override Governor Jim Pillen's veto of a bill that would have allowed local jurisdictions to distribute hypodermic needles to drug users, despite broad bipartisan support. Seven lawmakers who had previously supported the bill ultimately reversed their votes, with supporters alleging pressure from the governor. The bill aimed to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, but Pillen vetoed it, citing concerns about providing needles to children. The failed override vote is seen as a win for Pillen and is likely to fuel further legislative debate on related issues.
