  VA Legislative Issue Brief No. 15, July 11, 1996
Nebraska also has a provision in Section 50-129 that declares any legislation enacted after June 30, 1993, which fails to include the required estimates and appropriation to be null and void.
The Nebraska Supreme Court decided that the Nebraska Legislature tried to extend its power too far §§ 50-129 and 50-130 when it (i) required future legislatures to appropriate funds for correctional costs resulting from legislation enacted in the past and (ii) expressly limited the purpose for which such funds could be used.
While Virginia's § 30-19.1:4 does not have such problems, the Nebraska case is a good reminder to all legislatures to take care in their law-making not to bind the hands of future legislatures.

Nebraska's statutory definition of insurance, §44-102, does not define insurance in terms of transfer of risk, which is the linchpin of the majority opinion of the Virginia Supreme Court.

Elizabeth Dole’s latest failure is her inability to convince West Virginia Secretary of State Betty Ireland to challenge Sen. Robert KKK Byrd.
While some may seek to justify this by West Virginia’s union bent, the fact is that she differs from her state on the very social issues that make KKK so vulnerable.
Not only is she a proven winner in a tough environment, but she would also find it much easier to galvanize the social conservative coalition that anyone who hopes to unseat Byrd will need.

Nebraska had one fumble, which bounced harmlessly into a Nebraska lineman's hands as he lay on the ground.
Given all that, it's a testament to the Hokies that until Nebraska took a 31-21 lead and then stopped the Hokies on Tech's next possession, this game was up for grabs.
When Nebraska tacked on another TD on the fumble return to make it 17-7, I realized it was going to be an uphill battle, one that the Hokies weren't likely to win, given Nebraska's penchant for wearing teams down.
