Every once in a while, a political mailer comes out that is monumentally stupid. Since the year 2000 (26 years) Nebraska property taxes have gone up 241%. The Republicans have controlled the unicameral and the governor's mansion since 1999 (27 years).
When now-Governor Pillen ran for office, he promised to reduce property taxes by 40%. Today, as a part of Pillen's property tax relief plan, Nebraska currently , has an approximate billion dollar shortage in the state's budget.
According to the Ak Sar Ben group's report, Strengthening Nebraska Families, none of Nebraska's 93 counties has seen any growth in the creation of primary or secondary jobs for more than 10 years. In addition, the report blames the budget gap on Pillen's property relief program.
Vote, however you want, but one thing is clear, the party in control, the Nebraska GOP, has no plan and apparently no interest in fixing the state's economy. A successful party will run on its record. Obviously, blaming Lynne Walz is an act of desperation by a failed Administration.

'Is This How We Treat Humans?'
Food pantries across Nebraska may have to ask for proof of citizenship before handing out food. Local pantries are speaking out, urging the state to not pursue the change. This comes after the federal administration released an executive order urging the states to restrict emergency food bought with federal dollars, also known as TEFAP, from non-U.S. citizens.

I launched this campaign to modernize our voting systems, making simple, commonsense reforms like same day voter registration a reality for every eligible citizen.
We must defend our elections here in Nebraska against an aggressive, out of state partisan playbook designed to sow division and undermine public trust.
Protecting our democracy is not a partisan issue, it is a patriotic duty. That is why we are building a broad, pragmatic coalition of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who value stability, transparency, and constitutional norms over extremism.
We do not have to agree on every political debate to agree that our elections must remain free, fair, and secure from partisan interference.
If you are ready for practical leadership that protects your vote and respects our neighbors, there is a seat at this table for you. Join our cross partisan coalition today at: www.slatteryfornebraska.com
