PETITION DRIVE LAUNCHED Long threatened, a petition drive has now been launched to reduce property taxes in Nebraska by more than a billion dollars. Essentially the same as Legislative Bill 829 sponsored by Sen. Steve Erdman of Bayard, the petition would give property owners a refundable income tax credit equal to half of the property taxes collected by their local school district. “When both rural and urban people are saying the same thing, I think the legislature should listen, but they haven’t and now we’re running a proposal through to make sure they have a voice in Novem- ber,” Trent Fellers, spokesman for Yes to Property Tax Relief, tells Ne- braska Radio Network. At the end of the 2017 legislative session, Erdman held a news conference during which he stated if the Unicameral failed to approved substantial property tax relief he would take the issue directly to the voters. A few property tax proposals have been filed this legislative session, but this is a short session and with only around 30 days left, it doesn’t appear there is time to move anything substantial. Gov. Pete Ricketts supports LB 947, sponsored by Sen. Jim Smith of Papillion, chair of the Revenue Committee. . REGISTRATION UNDER WAY Registration is under way for Plains Safaris, a conference on tourism and conservation in the Great Plains. The April 18-20 event in Kearney will combine three conferences into one large-scale meeting. The State Tour- ism Commission’s annual Agri/Eco-Tourism Workshop and the Heartland Scenic Byways annual conference are joining the Center for Great Plains Studies in hosting the event. Early-bird registration of $100 ends March 1. The one-time ecotourism event is expected to draw upward of 400 people, organizers said. The conference will bring together farmers, ranchers, businesspeople, local leaders, community organizations and conservationists to learn how tourism can both be a business opportunity and a way to preserve nature in the Great Plains.

SPORTS The McCook Bison boys saw their basketball season come to an end last night, falling to Hastings 56-48 in the Class B7 district semifinals in Lexington. The two teams were tied at 27 at halftime. Hastings came out in the third quarter and outscored the Bison 20-9. McCook cut the deficit to four late in the fourth quarter but that's as close as they got. Clayton Stevens led the Bison with 16 points. Hastings will face Hol-drege in the B7 district title game tonight in Lexington. The fourth-seeded Dusters upset top-seeded Lexington 85-78. Bertrand moved into the Class D1-11 subdistrict semifinals with a 54-46 win over Hitchcock County last night in Cam-bridge. The fourth-seeded Vikings will face Arapahoe tonight in the first of two semifinals. Pregame coverage on 103.9 The Hawk begins at 5:40. Game two between Alma and Medi-cine Valley will follow. The two winners will square off on Thursday night. The Nebraska men's basketball team looks to bounce back after a tough loss, as the Huskers return home to Pinnacle Bank Arena to take on the Indiana Hoosiers. Tipoff at Pinna-cle Bank Arena is set for shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday's game will be televised nationally on BTN. Nebraska (20-9, 11-5 Big Ten) rallied from an 11-point first-half deficit at Illinois, but was unable to close out the Fighting Illini on Sunday. Isaac Copeland led three Huskers in double figures with 17 points and five boards, while Isaiah Roby added 14 points, 10 re-bounds and three blocked shots in a losing effort, as the Huskers saw their six-game Big Ten win streak snapped.
