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.
