State issues
Property taxes & state budget
Examiner questionnaire (Budget): “When the Legislature convenes in January, it will have significant work ahead of it to close a substantial budget shortfall.”
Examiner questionnaire (Spending): “Funding public schools is one of the most important functions of the state and will be another one of my top priorities. The Nebraska Constitution rightly mandates it. If I am elected, I will work to make sure public schools receive the state funding they need, which also helps ease the burden on property taxpayers.”
