Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts defends his proposed change to how agricultural property is assessed for property tax purposes in face of criticism from groups which usually back him.
The Nebraska Farm Bureau is among the usual Ricketts supporters opposed to the measure.
Still, the governor says farmland should be assessed on its income potential, rather than on the real estate market. . .

Ricketts says his administration has made property tax relief a high priority from the beginning. . .

Ricketts says that approach will not end property tax reform efforts.
