LINCOLN - Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen revealed some of his top legislative priorities Sunday, outlining a policy agenda focused on social issues and property tax reform — both hallmarks of the first-term governor's initial two years in office.

Pillen will also implore lawmakers to replace Nebraska's distinctive presidential electoral system with a winner-take-all model backed by President-elect Donald Trump.
