Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts says talks continue on refining a tax-cut proposal, but says time is running out to get it passed.

Ricketts tells those attending his agricultural conference in Kearney negotiations continue even on this late date

Ricketts says his 240-Million-dollar proposal cuts both property and income taxes and fits in the state budget, while the billion dollar measure proposed for the November ballot would wreck the budget

Ricketts cautions that not everyone will be happy with his proposal. . .

The legislature is two thirds of the way through the 2018 session.
