Below is a statement from OpenSky Policy Institute Executive Director Dr. Rebecca Firestone regarding LB 388, the tax shift that would reduce property tax revenues through a shift to sales taxes.

“Last year, the Legislature made a choice to pass record income tax breaks for the wealthiest Nebraskans and out of state corporations, and now, when property tax cuts are the priority, the solution is a tax shift onto consumers that does little to help working families and small businesses facing economic challenges.”
