The ACLU of Nebraska filed the lawsuit on behalf of Planned Parenthood in late May seeking a temporary injunction to block LB574 from being enforced.
Attorneys for Planned Parenthood later sought a motion for summary judgment. Attorneys representing the state have also filed a motion to dismiss both the request for a temporary injunction and summary judgment.
Rogers House sold to York family
And just under four years after she bought a historic Lincoln bed and breakfast, Janel Faraci is passing on the keys to the Rogers House.
Since she made the purchase in 2019, things haven’t gone exactly according to plan. A global pandemic drained her finances, and Nebraska winters have taken a physical and mental toll on the Los Angeles native.
Now, Faraci said she’s moving to Florida and passing on the keys to the Near South landmark on the corner of 22nd and B streets. The building, which since its construction in 1914 has served as a banker’s retirement homestead and a chapter house for UNL’s Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, will now house a family of 11 from York who are set to move in on June 28.
