Nebraska lawmakers debated the major tax reform bill yesterday Tuesday for three hours but took no vote.

LB289 is the bill that seeks to lower property taxes by shifting much of that burden onto sales taxes.

Briese says property taxes have gotten out of hand…

Briese says the bill is not a tax increase….

No further debate has been scheduled and there are questions if thirty-three Senators would support bringing the bill back later.
