Below are statements from OpenSky Policy Institute Executive Director Dr. Rebecca Firestone regarding LB 388, the tax package advanced on Wednesday evening to final-round consideration.
On state tax policy
“We have choices when it comes to our state’s tax code, and we can ensure everyone pays their fair share and that we have the revenue to invest in great schools, stable, affordable housing, high-quality child care and public safety. We encourage policymakers to continue to consider equitable and sustainable solutions as they weigh changes in tax policy going forward that enable all Nebraskans to thrive.”
