Income Tax Debate Dominates Nebraska Capitol Session
Nebraskans debate a proposed state income tax in LB 612 with 25 senators voting to keep it alive and 18 wanting to bury it. The plan would levy a low flat rate on individuals and taxed corporate income with withholding and exemptions, as a 1964 start date was contested. The bill’s fate remains uncertain as supporters push for more study and possible later revisions. Meanwhile a separate bill to tax food and lodging at five percent and three percent on meals seeks over 3 million dollars in revenue with funds split for tourism and development. Sir David Ormsby Gore visits the United States, signaling diplomatic events alongside legislative action.
