TAX PIT

 

City of Omaha officials refuse to admit that Omaha taxpayers will have to pay to maintain & operate the unpopular streetcar system, if the bonds don’t sell.  We do not see investors lining up in droves to buy these bonds.  War clouds are on the horizon, & a recession may be imminent.  Of course, the streetcar bonds may make clever conversation piece wallpaper in our homes.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our NTF City Watch Project.

WHAT A MESS

 

According to State Auditor Mike Foley, the bumbling state welfare dept. has not properly accounted for millions of dollars of taxpayer money.  It has had this problem for 8 years in a row.  Overpaying welfare recipients & welfare providers, dumping dollars in the wrong funds, missing money.  Not collecting overpayments.  Dept. heads need to roll.  New leadership needed.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our NTF State Watch Project.

LOBBY HARD

 

If you have gone ballistic over your new property valuation increase, lobby your state senator to pass LB 317, which would give county assessors more leeway on how to set residential, commercial, or industrial property valuations.  The current Dept. of Revenue restrictions are so tight that assessors in both urban & rural counties have difficulty conscientiously setting valuations in a timely manner.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com for details.

LOBBY TODAY

 

If you are disgusted by the filibustering of crucial bills in the Legislature by socialist Sens. Machaela Cavanaugh & Megan Hunt, lobby your senator to pass LR14 CA, which would allow for the recall of state senators.  This constitutional amendment now is in General File and requires 2 more votes to reach the Governor’s desk.  The resolution could not stop the current filibuster but would allow angry constituents to expel these 2 rabid leftists from the Legislature.

CONTACT YOUR STATE SENATOR NOW

 

Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom supports LB 574, because it would prohibit use of state taxpayer $$ to pay for gender-transfer medical procedures.  Better to spend our tax $$ on improving medical care for normal Nebraskans.  The legislative debate is hot & fierce.  Do not allow the perverts to intimidate our legislators.  Contact your state senator today to vote YES on LB 574.

STOP CRT

 

The Westside School District #66 in Omaha disguises under different names its Critical Race Theory that permeates the school curriculum, in our opinion to fool residents/parents.  Now, the district wants voters to vote YES on a property tax levy override.  Voters should vote down this ballot issue by mail until the district dumps CRT. Watching the following video will infuriate you as a voter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R62bFu_jSXg&t=87s.
