Wouldn’t it be nice if fashioning a winning football team was as easy as paint-by-numbers?

Coaches could simply take their pallette of colors, follow the numbers, stay within the lines and quickly produce finished works.
Of course, in reality, it’s not that simple. As in art, it takes imagination, vision, a steady hand, deft strokes and patience to conjur a gridiron masterpiece.

We saw Saturday that Bo Pelini’s “Portrait of Nebraska Football” is a work in progress. You could certainly see some beautiful lines emerging, but there were also more than a few rough edges. (more…)

The budget summary, published in this week’s Albion News, includes $257,500 in property taxes to finance bonds for the courthouse addition project. There is also a new budget line item, the County Building Fund, that includes $22,942 in property tax revenue.

With 17.9 percent growth in the county valuation this year, the new budget includes a slight reduction in the property tax rate while still increasing total property tax revenues by $383,598 or 15.29 percent as compared to last year.

The total property tax rate (county levy) would decline from .362405 last year to .354407 per $100 of assessed value under the new budget.

Read the Albion News Print Edition for complete details.

The proposed budget shows a slight reduction in the total property tax rate to .407590 cents per $100. However, when the Airport Authority tax rate is factored in, there is no rate change from last year.

With a 97 percent increase in total property valuation, mostly due to the ethanol plant personal property being added to the tax rolls, the same levy will raise $208,438 more in revenue for the coming year.

In their recent budget planning session, the council decided to use the same levy to build up cash reserves this year.

Albion will be hosting the Red Cross Bloodmobile next Monday, Sept. 8, 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Tuesday, Sept. 9, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall
