I was not shocked, just disappointed when Gov. Jim Pillen announced that he was going to reduce Nebraska’s collective property taxes by $2 billion this year, somehow.
Imagine that. In a short session in what also happens to be an election year, but without a specific plan, the first-term Republican is going to achieve a 40% property tax reduction in a single year. “I’m committed. I’m all in. The problem has to be solved,” he said.
