In the article Court verdict may not matter in state fairgrounds move from the Lincoln Journal Star, the fact is mentioned that whatever the Nebraska Supreme Court decides, it will most likely make no difference. The initiator of the court case admitted that even if the law that moved the fair to Grand Island was deemed unconstitutional, the State Fair Board would most likely go on with the construction of the fair as it is. I fail to see how hearing a case that will have no real impact whatsoever is in the best interest of Nebraskans.
I completely understand the views of those in Lincoln that are upset that the State Fair has been moved, but the time has come to stop fighting. Many have mentioned that the law that moved the fair was unconstitutional because it gave Grand Island an advantage over Lincoln. I find this a total load of bull. The cities of Lincoln and Omaha will always have an advantage over anywhere else in the state simply because of their size and location. Moving one event away from a city that has much more going for it than Grand Island will not destroy Lincoln.
