## Resource

Governor Jim Pillen’s bold new plan aims to overhaul Nebraska’s tax and education system by shifting school funding from property taxes to the state’s budget, leveraging a $1.4 billion surplus to fully fund schools and eliminate property taxes for education. He’s also proposing to scrap the state income tax entirely and introduce tax credits for lower-income families, framing it as a win-win for all Nebraskans. While he’s pushing the Legislature to act fast, skeptics are already questioning the long-term budget impact. This could be a major turning point for how Nebraska funds schools and collects taxes — and the debate is just beginning. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
