Property tax reform has been one of the prime issues in the past few sessions of the Nebraska legislature. Further cuts may be tied to changes in school funding.
Senator Tom Briese of Albion says that’s another difficult issue…..

Briese says they just can’t trade dollars for tax reform and school funding…..

Tax revenue to the state is up and Briese says that gives them room for more property tax relief…..

The state is now holding over one billion dollars in reserve funds.
