A look at school taxes
Tuesday, May 21, 2019
Have you noticed that our Nebraska Legislature’s effort to raise taxes to have more money to give to the schools and “relieve property taxes” isn’t going so good? Maybe Governor Ricketts' promise to veto any such effort is having an effect. I think that our Governor’s understanding that raising taxes only contributes to our tax spenders’ propensity to spend any largess of new revenue and thereby create a need to keep the tax rate high to support their new spending habits. It seems that is the way it works. Human nature.
