Taxes are a big issue in the Legislature.  Among the better bills is LB 244, sponsored by Sen. Briese, that would offset part of property taxes paid to local subdivisions through refundable income tax credits.  This legislation expands the current offset for taxes paid public schools & community colleges.  For a complete list of good & bad bills, including tax & spending bills, compiled by NE Taxpayers for Freedom, email netaxpayers@gmail.com.
