NE Senators Call For Tax Cuts

Four conservative Nebraska state senators, Bob Andersen (LD 49), Tanya Storer (LD-43), Jared Storm (LD-23), and Paul Strommen (LD-47), announce their pledge to Nebraska taxpayers in advance of the 2026 session of the Nebraska Legislature. Any legislative tax proposal must:

 (1) Not increase the total tax burden on Nebraska taxpayers. This includes state income and sales taxes in the General Fund, property taxes, local sales taxes, fees, and other cash fund revenues.

 (2) Provide direct and explicit dollar for dollar decreases in other taxes if any tax rate is increased or tax base expanded. This includes increases in state revenues to offset local property taxes and increases in fees or cash fund revenues to offset general fund expenses.

 Tanya Storer of Whitman emphasizes the need to account for the total tax burden on Nebraskans. "Despite directing in excess of $1.6 Billion to offset the property tax burden, Nebraska property owners have only seen a $6 Million decrease in the total property taxes collected2. We have to plug the hole in the bottom of the bucket."
