The trial for life has been going on for years. Each side has passionately laid out their case. This November, you get to decide for Nebraska. This November, you must decide. There is no sitting out on this one, whether you regularly vote or have never voted, you can not dodge this election with these two ballot initiative measures.
A last minute push is being made in Nebraska to correct a wrong and align ourselves with what the Founding Father established. On Wednesday, Sen Lindsey Graham met with more than a dozen Republican members of Nebraska’s Unicameral at the governor’s mansion as reported on by 1011 Now. The purpose of that meeting was to garner support for a special session changing Nebraska back to a winner-take-all state, like our Founders created. Governor Pillen has already said he would call a special session.
It’s over. Governor Pillen’s special session on taxes has ended without much fanfare. With 17 legislative days, 81 bills introduced, and roughly $180,000 in cost, the Governor signed LB34 into law on Tuesday, August 20th. What tax relief do Nebraskan’s get with LB34?
Nebraska is well into Governor Pillen’s special session on taxes. What have we learned so far?
NFFV has been working to educate Nebraskans on taxes and how to improve Nebraska’s tax structure. NFFV has held two tax events.
Much has been said about the number of ballot petitions that are currently rushing to secure enough signature to appear on the November ballot. There are eleven of them listed on the Nebraska Secretary of State website.
You probably saw the news over the weekend. Pornhub is moving out of Nebraska. They are blocking their online content in Nebraska. Why?
The issue is bigger than property taxes. It is Nebraska’s overall tax burden and that burden is causing Nebraskans to leave the state. Dr. Goss also said “I’m sorry to tell you, Iowa is moving aggressively toward reducing their tax burden. Nebraska must move in the same direction.”
There is now a 3rd petition drive to determine the life, or death, of an unborn child. The petition drive filed with the Nebraska Secretary of State titled “Now Choose Life” is the only one of the three that stands for life.
Did you get a chance to attend the NFFV hosted tax discussion last Friday? It was quite informative with a lot of good information Nebraskans need to understand and consider when it comes to Nebraska’s tax system and whether EPIC option is a viable path forward.
