CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average price of a gallon of regular-grade gasoline fell just over 1 cent nationally during the past two weeks, to $2.36.

Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that the drop mostly results from a dip in crude oil costs. Lundberg says the current price is 46 cents a gallon above what it was a year ago.

Gas in San Diego was the highest in the continental United States at an average of $2.82 a gallon Friday. The lowest average was in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at $2.05 a gallon.

The U.S. average diesel price is $2.57, up a penny from two weeks ago.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Relatives of a police officer or firefighter who dies on duty could qualify for at least $50,000 from the state under a bill pending before Nebraska lawmakers.

The bill set for a hearing Monday would allow a one-time payment of $50,000 to a spouse, child or other designated person. Payouts would increase in tandem with inflation.

The measure by Sen. Matt Hansen of Lincoln comes after Dakota City’s fire department lost three of its members to heart attacks in an 18-month period. It also follows the 2015 death of Omaha police officer Kerrie Orozco of Council Bluffs, Iowa. She was shot and killed while serving an arrest warrant on a gang member.

The bill could see opposition given Nebraska’s projected shortfall of nearly $900 million in the upcoming two-year budget

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska State Treasurer Don Stenberg says more than $16.3 million was returned to owners of unclaimed property in 2016 — a record.

Stenberg says the amount returned last year exceeded the previous record of $14 million set in 2008. The state’s unclaimed property program began in 1969.

A total of 16,984 claims were paid in 2016. The largest claim paid was for two trusts valued at a total of $1.2 million for an Omaha couple. The average claim in 2016 was $962.

Examples of unclaimed property include health claim payments, dividends, life insurance proceeds, stocks, safety deposit boxes and unused gift certificates.
