After monitoring the Nebraska legislature all day on February 1, 2024, Unicameral Watch decided our state legisature is incapable of reducing taxes; in fact, on that day, it authorized a $1Billion tax increase as presented by State Sens. Luanne Linehan and Brad von Gillern.
Gov. Jim PIllen advertised a tax structure that would support a 40% decrease in property taxes. When his representative was questioned by State Sen. George Dungan, she could not define how the 40% reduction was to be reached.
Unicameral watch concluded at the end of the day that Nebraska is a state under severe distress, posting the Nebraska flag upside down as it was displayed a few year ago when no one noticed.
They went on to say there is no choice but to pass EPIC. They acknowled a "massive effort" but reiterated that, "We have no other option."

“[EPIC Option] takes the boot off the throat of the economic engine that creates security for all the citizens of the state.”
