Heineman tax plan gets mixed reviews
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
LINCOLN, Nebraska -- In its simplest form, Governor Dave Heineman has proposed two bills to eliminate state income taxes and make up the lost revenue by eliminating $2.4 billion in sales tax exemptions. Proponents told the Legislature's Revenue Committee that such a bold move would result in job growth. Opponents say there is no evidence, not even anecdotal evidence, that such a move results in job growth.
