If gaming is expanded in Nebraska, it should be limited to the state's tribes, The Lincoln Journal Star argues in an editorial today.

That would benefit the tribes, the paper writes. A "misguided" ballot proposal to allow video slot machines at bars, restaurants, race tracks and keno parlors does not, the paper says.

A state judge removed the voter initiative from the upcoming November ballot. A federal court hearing is scheduled in Lincoln tomorrow on the issue.
