Lawmakers act on equalization in Nebraska
Lincoln lawmakers voted to withhold state funds from counties that fail to equalize property tax assessments by January 1, 1978. The measure originally targeted all taxing districts with a 7 percent budget lid, but an amendment limited the 7 percent cap to school budgets while withholding state aid to education for noncompliant counties.

Senate shoots down GOP tax cut attempt in Senate vote
The Senate rejected a $7.9 billion annual GOP plan to add a permanent tax cut to the tax reform bill on a party line vote of 39 to 8. Democrats warned Carter would veto any extension and argued inflation would erode bracket relief. The measure aimed to cut rates on the first $20,000 of income, but faced likely lack of Democratic support. The bill anyway includes $6 billion in broader individual relief and $4.1 billion for business cuts over two years.
