After eight hours of debate across two days, Nebraska lawmakers overcame a filibuster Tuesday to give first-round approval to a proposed law that would limit annual increases to the state's minimum wage that 58.7% of voters approved less than three years ago.
The Legislature voted to 33-16 to end Tuesday's filibuster of Lincoln Sen. Jane Raybould's proposal that drew fierce opposition from her Democratic colleagues who cast the measure as an attack on the will of Nebraska voters.
