LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A home that the University of Nebraska Foundation purchased in 2013 for a former NU president has been sold at a loss after more than a year on the market.

The house sold to an undisclosed buyer for $575,000 on Monday.

The home at 2810 S. 27th St. in Lincoln was purchased in 2013 for then-President J.B. Milliken for $750,000 using private foundation funds.

Milliken accepted a position in New York shortly after the purchase and never moved in. The foundation put the 7,000-square-foot home on the market in January 2015. The foundation spent $895,000 in June 2015 for a different home for new NU President Hank Bounds.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Tourism Commission’s chairman says he’s alarmed by a new state audit that uncovered questionable spending practices within the independent state agency.

Chairman John Chapo says the commission is “extremely concerned” by the findings and will take steps to correct them. The commission went into closed session during its meeting Tuesday at the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, but took no immediate action after the meeting was reopened.

The audit released last week found that Nebraska tourism officials used state money to reimburse a marketing firm for alcohol and cigarettes, accepted meals from contractors and paid $44,000 in speaking fees for a 90-minute speech by a corporate executive.

In addition, a contractor for the agency hired the daughter of the commission’s director for a promotional photo shoot near Valentine.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s secretary of state says this year’s spike in voter registration will not necessarily mean greater participation in the primary election.

In a Monday news release, John Gale encouraged citizens to vote in the May 10 primary to boost Nebraska’s historically low turnout.

This year, 1,165,189 Nebraska voters are registered for the primary, about 13,000 more than were registered to vote in the 2014 primary.

But Gale says Nebraska has not seen more than 300,000 voters participating in each of the past three presidential election years, and registration rarely translates to voting-day turnout.

Gale says counties have reported they have only received about half of the early voting ballots back.

In-person early voting continues until May 9, the day before the primary.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska will receive $1.48 million from a pharmaceutical company to settle allegations that the drug maker knowingly underpaid rebates owned to the Nebraska’s Medicaid drug rebate program.

Attorney General Doug Peterson announced the agreement Monday with Wyeth, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc.

The rebates in questions were for the drugs Protnix Oral and Protonix IV between 2001 and 2006. The settlement is part of a larger, nationwide agreement where Wyeth and Pfizer will pay $784.6 million to the federal and state governments.

The settlement arose from two whistleblower lawsuit filed in federal court in Massachusetts. The federal governments and 35 states, including Nebraska, intervened in the case.

The rebate program was enacted by Congress in 1990 as a cost containment measure for Medicaid’s payment for outpatient drugs.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The most expensive lunch in the world will go on sale again next month when Warren Buffett auctions off a private meal.

Buffett has raised more than $20.2 million for the Glide Foundation that helps the homeless in San Francisco over the past 16 years.

Buffett’s advice is sought after because of his success in investing and his willingness to give his fortune away as a philanthropist.

The winning bid has topped $2 million in six of the past eight online auctions, but the record price remains $3,456,789 paid in 2012.

The auction will begin June 5 and continue through June 10 on eBay.com/glide.

The winner can invite up to seven friends to join the lunch at Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in New York City.
