One of the complaints that I often here about the EPIC Option Consumption Tax has to do with the loss of local control.
For example, the League of Municipalities held an informational meeting last week, where they complained about how the EPIC Option Consumption Tax eliminates local control. This was a false assumption. The EPIC Option Consumption Tax does not eliminate local control.
The pink postcards we all received recently in the mail were the result of a bill that passed in the Legislature called, “The Truth in Taxation Act.” In short, it means that it is true that your taxes will go up! The pink postcards are supposed to inform the people about a public hearing, but for many Nebraskans, the pink postcards arrived after the date of the public hearing. That was the case for me with one of my own properties.
