LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Lawmakers are nearly done working on a large package of tax cuts to close a $334 million state budget gap.

A final vote by the Legislature was expected Friday morning. Gov. Dave Heineman was expected to move quickly as well, issuing any vetoes he may have on the same day.

Lawmakers would then consider whether to try to override the vetoes on Friday.

The Legislature began meeting in special session a little more than two weeks ago and have largely stuck with the budget-cutting proposal Heineman gave them.

Heineman called a special session to make changes to the 2-year budget passed last spring. State tax revenues have been falling below projections.
