On the 58th day of this year’s shorter 60-day legislative session Nebraska State Senators debated the Governor’s actual tax plan.
That plan was amended into the Revenue Committee’s shell bill (LB 388) with an amendment (AM 3468). I have been saying throughout the legislative session that the Governor’s plan would not deliver 40 percent property tax relief, as per his promise, and that amendment only proved my point when the bill advanced to Final Reading late last Wednesday night. The Governor may call the Legislature back for a special session later this summer to fix the bill.
The Governor’s tax plan doesn’t come anywhere close to giving Nebraskans a 40 percent reduction in their property taxes.
