State asks Nebraska voters for higher taxes in 1990s
Nebraskans face a raised state sales tax from 2.5% to 3% and an income tax increase to 18% of federal liability retroactive to Jan 1. The State Board of Equalization unanimously approved the measures after hearings, with officials warning about impacts on take home pay and consumer costs. The board heard testimony from Lincoln business figure Bill Harris, Sen. Orval Keyes, and Omaha’s Charles Prachensky Jr., then debated tax options before approving the plan.
