THE REAL PROBLEM

 

The Omaha Weird-Herald whined about partisanship in the Legislature preventing that body from making substantive decisions on key issues.  The problem is not partisanship; it is ideological differences.  There are a number of senators who seriously want tax relief for Nebraskans.  There also are Socialist Democrats and RINOS who don’t want tax relief but more spending on welfare programs and restraints on law enforcement.  On Nov. 3, Nebraskans can break this deadlock by voting for fiscally conservative candidates and incumbents.  Volunteer for their campaigns now.  Only then can we gain a legislative majority to pass real property tax relief and reform.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join the effort!

ELIMINATE THIS BUREAUCRACY

 

Your Douglas-Sarpy Co. tax $$ at work: The Learning Community (LC) spent $19,320.40 in July & August for baby diapers and formula.  The objective of the LC is to improve academic achievement for poor & minority children, not provide babysitting services.  The LC is an out of control bureaucracy, its board members continually seeking to expand its services outside its original objectives, wasting our tax $$ in wanton disregard for fiscal control.  Despite its profligate spending, no creditable improvement in academic achievement for its hapless students.  Contact your state senator to eliminate the LC before it expands outstate.  Email  netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our NTF Education Watch Project. 

TAXPAYERS LOST A HERO

 

Taxpayers lost a hero with the passing of Chuck Sigerson.  While on the Omaha City Council, Chuck always spoke for and voted for city property taxpayers, and he spoke both sincerely and forcefully.  When he occasionally disagreed with our taxpayer group, he carefully explained his reasoning.  It was unfortunate that his health precluded him from advancing up the political ladder to higher office, where he certainly would have similarly championed the taxpayer cause.  Taxpayers should be grateful that he helped us as much as he did, and we should remember his public service always. 

ONE MORE REASON TO VOTE FOR TRUMP

 

Riots, burning, looting, assaults, & other mayhem continues in many American cities.  Almost ignored in this tumult is the fact that local taxpayers must pay to repair all the damage to civic infrastructure.  Looted and vandalized businesses, disgusted with the ongoing disorder, are fleeing to more peaceful localities, depriving their former locales of business tax revenue.  These inflamed metropolises will only add to the number of decaying and crime-ridden cities already abandoned by their productive populations.  We will now have to listen to their Socialist Democrat civic leaders beg for state and federal aid to pay their bills.  The remedy: Vote Trump in 2020.
