GREAT result last night for the NE State Board of Education! The NSEA is about POWER, MONEY and LEFT WING agendas. Looking forward to what this new board will accomplish. @CourageHabit @Jenn_McW @RyanWalters_

Last year LB 1182 and LB 1183 covered ALL OF THIS!! Didn't make it out of committee! Would be happy to help. Just contact me.

Cap. Cover. Cut.

🏠 Cap the home valuations that are crushing family budgets.

🏫 Cover the cost of Nebraska’s schools with the state finally meeting its constitutional obligation to our kids.

💰 Cut property taxes to ensure Nebraskans are able to stay in their homes.

I will be on the frontlines of holding the Legislature accountable to the expectations of our people. And if they fail, I will make sure the people—Nebraska’s Second House—are heard loud and clear on the ballot.

Last year LB 1182 was introduced. Would have raised teachers salaries to 50k base and would be paid from the state and would lower property taxes roughly 40cents. Had a $0 fiscal note. Didn't make it out of committee. Just not that hard.
A School finance commission created by the Legislature is considering an increase to the amount of aid the state gives to school districts for each student.

GBR Nebraska is #4! Majority of your property taxes fund local schools. Can't find local property taxes in NE Constitution. "The Legislature shall provide for the free instruction in the common schools of this state of all persons between the ages of five and twenty-one years."

How dare @Plains_Sentinel question UNK. Education answers to no one. It is always the smartest in the room. Who needs a Board of Regents or a State Board of Education when the institution can investigate itself and clear itself? Zero accountability in Education.
