LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska lawmakers have ended a 2016 session that focused on heavily on property taxes, roads and immigration issues.
Lawmakers finished the contentious 60-day session Wednesday.
Senators used a record number of filibusters to block bills, such as a new Medicaid expansion proposal, a medical marijuana program and an effort to return Nebraska to a winner-take-all system of awarding its electoral college votes for president.
The session was also the last for 11 of the Legislature's 49 senators, who are leaving office because of term limits. Nebraska senators are limited to two four-year terms.
