Judge upholds river basin tax law

LINCOLN — A judge has upheld a state law that says natural resources districts in Nebraska's Republican River basin can levy a per-acre tax on irrigated land.

The Lancaster County District Court released Judge Robert Otte's opinion Friday. LeRoy Sievers, an attorney representing the plaintiffs fighting the law, said the decision is likely to be appealed.

The decision came two years after a different judge struck down a property tax that was part of the same law permitting the per-acre tax.
