Nebraska Legislature votes against state aid constitutional amendment
In Lincoln the Nebraska Legislature rejected a proposed constitutional amendment to fund nearly all state school costs, reversing earlier support. The bill LB452 would raise state aid to about 89 million dollars and cut local property taxes by 94 cents per dollar of state aid, while a separate plan tied local costs to sales and income taxes. Supporters argued the current aid formula is unfair and needs change, while opponents warned of insufficient immediate tax relief and excessive state shift. Speaker Carpenter pressed to proceed, while opponents led by Warner warned of veto risk and lack of immediate benefit.
