Candidates for the Unicameral are listed in the nonpartisan section of the primary ballot.
Nebraska was an early leader of the "open meeting" movement in state legislatures, partly in response to concerns that an unchecked unicameral body might take ill-considered, hasty legislative action.

 Sex Scandal Roils Kentucky Statehouse
In July, Kentucky Gov Paul Patton, one of the state's most popular leaders in recent times, got himself elected chairman of the National Governor's Association and was moving toward a U.S. Senate race in 2004.
The FBI, the state Attorney General's office and the state's Executive Branch Ethics Commission are all looking into whether he abused his influence to help a Western Kentucky nursing home owned by Tina Boyd Conner, 40, with whom he had a two-year relationship.
The scandal could affect the state's budget battle -- the Republican-controlled state Senate was already jousting with Patton over his proposal to include public financing of the 2003 governor's race in the next state budget.

 Cuba on the "Terrorist" List: Miami Rides Again   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Cuba, which originally was included in the listing of state-sponsors of terrorism in 1982, as a result of its purported support for guerrilla insurgencies around the world, in any case has done nothing to merit such a designation today, even if you use the State Department’s own definition of the concept.
In fact, the State Department, knowing that it had no hard case, had tried once before to drop Cuba from its terrorist list, but hurried back to its desk to reinvent the document after Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen and her Miami colleagues raised the roof over its legitimate finding.
The State Department has now sought to justify its archly politicized designation of Cuba as a rogue state by pointing to contrived allegations – both recent and ancient – which were even then usually more apparent than real, if not downright phony.

 U.S. Dept. of State FOIA Electronic Reading Room - Hinchey Report (CIA Activities in Chile)
The overwhelming objective-firmly rooted in the policy of the period-was to discredit Marxist-leaning political leaders, especially Dr. Salvador Allende, and to strengthen and encourage their civilian and military opponents to prevent them from assuming power.

According to a previously released Memorandum of Conversation, Kissinger in June 1976 indicated to Pinochet that the US Government was sympathetic to his regime, although Kissinger advised some progress on human rights in order to improve Chile's image in the US Congress.
