Governor comments on NU health education project

Last month, the University of Nebraska asked for $91 million from the state's cash reserve to help pay for four projects aimed at improving health care education. Now, the governor is speaking out on that proposal.

Governor Dave Heinemann compared the University of Nebraska to a wealthy special interest group during an interview with the Omaha World Herald.

He says the University has its hands out for taxpayer dollars while the state's citizens want tax relief.

Heineman told the paper his top priority remains passage of his proposed tax-cut package and that the university needs to reprioritize its spending or use private dollars from its foundation.
