Rising property valuations don’t have to mean higher property taxes. But when local governments keep levy rates the same and spend the valuation windfall, taxpayers are left with a bigger bill. Check out @Jim_Vokal in the @Plains_Sentinel: plains-sentinel.com/p/omaha-…

Nebraska is taking less of your hard-earned money—and that’s a good thing for our citizens. We’re proving that government can do more with less by continuing to provide exceptional services while allowing taxpayers to keep more of what they earn. While money into government coffers are down due to refunds, sales and use tax collections are up. That means people are spending their money, growing our economy, and keeping Nebraska open for business.
Budget challenges don't require a retreat from policies that strengthen NE’s competitiveness. NE’s income tax reductions make our state better. As lawmakers address the state's fiscal outlook, staying the course is critical to NE's future. nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/…

If NE wants to attract and keep young families, child care matters. A new study ranks NE #1 for the highest child care cost burden on married-couple families. Our latest blog explores what that means for workforce growth and outmigration. Read more: platteinstitute.org/nebraska…
