A group of business and government organizations publicly launched its effort Thursday to oppose the initiative petition seeking to replace all state taxes with a consumption tax.
They called the EPIC Option Consumption Tax initiative “flawed,” a “devastating” elimination of local government control, and a proposal based on inaccurate estimates of its ability to replace all sales, income and property taxes.
“Property taxes in Nebraska are too high, but EPIC is not the solution,” said former State Sen. Dan Hughes of Venango.
