Nebraska voters approved expanding Medicaid coverage in last months election, it will now be up to state Senators to figure out how to pay for it.
Senators will also have to deal with rising property taxes.
Senator Tom Briese of Albion says new revenue is needed to deal with both issues…

Some Senators want to use new taxes from online sales to pay for Medicaid expansion. Briese would rather see those dollars go toward cutting property taxes…..

Briese has previously sponsored a bill to increase sales taxes to off set property taxes. That bill did not get past floor debate.
