Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom will hold its annual Tax Day Tea Party on Saturday, April
13, from 2 PM to 4 PM at Walnut Grove Park, 150th & Q Streets,
Omaha. The theme of this
year’s Tea Party is “Great Expectations,” regarding the great expectations on
tax and spending control that we expect from conservative candidates in the
present city election. Guest speakers
are as follows: Jean Stothert, candidate for Mayor of Omaha, as keynote
speaker. Omaha City Council candidates Ed Truemper
(District 1), Rich Pahls (District 5), and Aimee Melton (District 7), and several
Omaha Public School board candidates.
There also will be patriotic music and drawings for prizes.
According to the Tax Foundation, Nebraskans will work this
year until April 12 to pay their federal, state, and local taxes. So it will be
appropriate for our speakers to discuss our city and school tax situations and
their consistency regarding tax reduction and pledges to use tax dollars for
basic services and not frivolous spending.
