Nebraska governor says state can't afford university's proposed capital initiative

From The Lincoln Journal-Star: Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman says the state cannot afford to help pay for a $441 million capital initiative that University of Nebraska officials unveiled this week. The initiative would include a cancer research center in Omaha, a nursing facility and veterinary diagnostic center in Lincoln and a health care training facility in Kearney. University officials say the project is needed because of a growing nursing shortage and an increased demand for other health-care professionals.
