LINCOLN, Neb. - Nebraska lawmakers have only one more day to introduce bills in their budget-cutting special session.

A dozen bills have been introduced so far since the session began on Wednesday.
The Appropriations Committee will continue hearings on Friday to learn about the impact of the cuts Gov. Dave Heineman proposed.
