LINCOLN - The Legislature resumes its virus-interrupted session a week from now with big question marks hanging in the air. Property tax relief, creation of a new business development tax incentives program, some form of early commitment to state funding support for a transformational University of Nebraska Medical Center project and pandemic-related adjustments to the state government's 2019-2021 budget are the early headliners.

Nebraska's current business tax incentives program is due to expire at the end of the year, and an early commitment to the ambitious Medical Center project might be critical in gaining federal designation and support.

This is going to be an odd, socially distanced legislative session in which senators are spread across the breadth of the legislative chamber and the lobbying corps and news media are isolated from senators during floor proceedings.
