LINCOLN, NEB. – “Today is a great day for every tax paying Nebraskan with Governor Jim Pillen signing two bills into law that will deliver historic property and income tax relief. Nebraska Farm Bureau has been fighting for property tax relief for rural Nebraskans for decades and this legislation helps deliver equitable tax distribution to every farmer and rancher. Getting LB 243 and LB 754 across the finish line is a huge victory for the entire state, especially coupled with reform to how education is funded.”

“We thank state senators for getting these bills passed and putting billions of dollars back in the pockets of Nebraska taxpayers. We thank Governor Jim Pillen for his visionary and aggressive approach in tackling the state’s most pressing issue. Seeing the size and scope of relief delivered today shows a massive amount of will of the elected officials and the voters of this state.”

“To say that electing the first Governor rooted in agriculture in nearly a century was key to this success is an understatement. Nebraska’s lifeblood is agriculture, and we are seeing the state’s largest industry supported with this legislation.”
