Governor Dave Heineman continues to be in no rush to decide whether to affirm or veto the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission's lifting of a 15-year old ban on alcohol in state parks and recreation areas.
Heineman said in late July that he expected to make his decision within a month or so, but now says he's still weeks away from reaching that point.
The governor has said all along that he wanted to look at all parts of the proposed new alcohol rules...which include allowing specific areas or entire parks to continue to be alcohol-free.
He says recent possibly alcohol-related off-road fatality at Lake McConaughy and continued opposition by lake-area law enforcement to lifting the ban has him studying that provision even more carefully.
The governor denies rumors that he asked the Game and Parks Commission to re-consider its decision.
On another subject, Heineman insists that while there are fewer Nebraska State Patrol troopers on the road that 4 years ago, safety is still being maintained. He says the patrol has found new ways to stretch its resources and become more efficient.
Heineman said the issue on the number of troopers may have been raised because someone on his call-in program indicated they hadn't seen one trooper while traveling across the state.
