Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts insists his tax relief package is not dead, just done for this legislative session.
Ricketts points out his proposed combination of income and property tax relief simply couldn’t must the votes needed to overcome a filibuster. . .

Ricketts says he hasn’t spent much time analyzing why he fell six votes short. . .

Ricketts had proposed cutting the top state income tax rate by one percent and changing how agricultural land is valued for property tax assessment.
The issue could be revived in the Unicameral next year.
