The University bureaucracy is
whining about lack of funding, that it might have to cut its bloated
budget. NU laughably pledges that it will
continue being “fiscally conservative” while it begs higher appropriations from
the Legislature & squeezes more tuition $$ from students. We suggest cutting the millions spent on Critical
Race Theory, Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies, & other diversity & indoctrination
courses. Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our NTF

Thursday at the Legislature,
there was a Revenue Comm. meeting on 3 bills, all offering additional property
tax relief. Only a half dozen groups,
including NE Taxpayers for Freedom, spoke in favor of these bills. 1 leftist think tank opposed them. Taxpaying citizens should have packed that
hearing room to support this legislation.
But, alas, it is easier to complain about your property taxes than actively
lobby. Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our

OP$ boasts 42% of its
students chronically absent, high schoolers the worst. This statistic adversely affects literacy,
social skills, & workforce attainability.
Nevertheless, OPS Supt. Logan finds time to testify against education
reform bills in the Legislature that would place OP$ spending on a diet. Meanwhile, Millard Public Schools is saving
taxpayers $1-$2 million on its 2020 bond issue. Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our NTF

Nebraska Taxpayers for
Freedom opposes state taxpayer funding for gender-altering, because these
procedures are cosmetic in nature, not necessary medical ones. Not cost-effective, because the few receiving
such treatment does not warrant taxpayer funding. Such surgeries cost up to an expensive
$50,000. Would be a bad precedent for
taxpayer funding for elective cosmetic surgeries on other parts of the
body. Tell your state senator to vote
YES on LB 574.
