Read past Reed Moore daily newsletters

In honor of this celebration, Reed Moore will tickle the ivories with a rousing rendition of “Chopsticks.”

Today’s news: Metro Transit launches Omaha’s first fully electric buses today, March 29, hundreds of patients were left without critical medical care due to staffing shortages during Omaha’s Omicron surge, and according to Newsweek, GOP Sen. Bruce Bostelman falsely claims some Nebraska schoolchildren are self-identifying as cats and dogs, dressing up as them, and meowing and barking — and as a result, schools allegedly want to let students use litter boxes.

The 100-page strategic plan seeks 30,000 new residents, 30,000 new jobs in 20 years.

The Reed Moore newsletter is supported by:

During Omaha’s Omicron surge, hundreds of patients were left without critical medical care due to staffing shortages, and at least one patient died during the wait for a hospital bed that was staffed. Now, hospitalizations are decreasing in Nebraska, and the Department of Health and Human Services plans to begin using genomic surveillance and wastewater surveillance to track coronavirus cases and variants across Nebraska.

The City Council and Board of County Commissioners are meeting today, and reporter Anton Johnson is sitting in on the City Council meeting. Follow Anton at @AntonIsWriting for live tweets, and to catch up on important Omaha government happenings. Tune in here to the Omaha City Council at 2 p.m.
