Mike Hilgers announced that Kicken was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay nearly $77,000 in restitution to Nebraska Medicaid after pleading guilty to one count of filing false Medicaid claims.

- The Morrill Fire’s impact on property taxes, especially in Garden County, dominated discussion Tuesday as Governor Jim Pillen and members of his cabinet held a wildfire recovery roundtable at the Oshkosh City Auditorium.
The panel heard from Caleb Johnson, who assists more than 20 counties in the Panhandle and elsewhere with their budgets, and he told them Garden County is in a very unique situation.
Johnson said because of the property valuation reductions expected through Form 425 filings for damaged or destroyed property, Garden County, among all the fire-impacted jurisdictions, has its back up against the wall.
“If it (total property valuation) goes down 42 percent, in order to be compliant with the (maximum) levy, which is fifty cents, they will have to lower their tax asking,” said Johnson, “and here’s where it becomes problematic is, even if Garden County gets state aid right now, that solves the problem this year.
