STOP THE CITY OF OMAHA WHEEL TAX HIKE


Join Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom to stop a proposed ordinance from Omaha city council members Franklin Thompson and Chris Jerram to add to our wheel tax.  Residents would pay a total of $74 annually by 2019.  These 2 council members instead should lobby our state senators to restore the state gas tax revenue taken from Omaha in 2008.  Thompson and Jerram should propose an ordinance to require contractors to guarantee their street work for at least 2 or 3 years.  Now, both new street construction and street repaving and repairs disintegrate too soon.  Our streets filled with cracks and craters.  Drivers left with expensive vehicle repairs.  Don't blame Nebraska weather.  South Dakota streets and roads last longer.  Contact your city council members today to squash this proposed ordinance.
