Schmit measure to final reading in Nebraska Senate
Lincoln Nebraska UPI Bellwood Senator Loran Schmit’s personal property tax exemption bill nears final reading on a 31 to 9 vote, likely producing a final session vote this month.

Proponents see rural relief, opponents warn of real estate burden shifts and higher sales and income taxes.
