STRONG STATE TAX REVENUE REPORT RENEWS CALLS FOR PROPERTY TAX RELIEF IN NEBRASKA

LINCOLN — Gov. Pete Ricketts renewed his call for property tax relief Tuesday after state tax revenues topped projections for a seventh month in a row.

“Our budget is set for the next two years, and higher-than-expected revenues have flowed into our cash reserve,” he said. “This trend of healthy revenues is setting the state up to do significant property tax relief in the upcoming legislative session.”

The Department of Revenue released a report Tuesday showing that the state collected $76.5 million more in taxes than had been forecast for July 1 through Sept. 30.
