Episode Details

A prescribed burn near Grand Island is safely underway, no cause for alarm. Meanwhile, Nebraska’s State Auditor uncovered over $181,000 in suspicious Medicaid overpayments—some cases include absurd billing like 47 hours of care in one day or rates over $50/hour when the average is $15. The waiver program, costing taxpayers $434 million annually, shows glaring oversight gaps despite claims of fixes. Globally, oil prices dipped slightly amid Iran’s threats to disrupt Hormuz shipping, with Brent at $94 and U.S. crude near $86. Locally, gas prices are mixed. Weather-wise, storms are rolling through now, with more wind and hail expected in western Nebraska today, temps mid-to-high 80s early week, then cooling—but by Friday’s State Fair, we’re back into the 90s.
