While property tax reduction was the major goal of Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts this year, it took the legislature almost the entire session to come up with a compromise.
Speaker, Senator Galen Hadley of Kearney says the twenty million dollar reduction took a lot of heavy lifting…..

Hadley says any significant property tax reduction is tied to the school aid formula, which is very complicated…

Hadley says they also ran into differences of opinions between urban and rural Senators…..

Hadley says the next session of the Unicameral will have to again deal with the issue. Hadley is term limited, and will not be returning in 2017.
