Speaker Adams has scheduled LB 308 with the pending motion for reconsideration for no later than 1:30 p.m. on Monday, May 20. The agenda provides that the Legislature will be considering bills on Final Reading before considering LB 308. Senators are not allowed to come out of the Chamber during Final Reading, so we need to make every effort to contact key Senators Monday before noon, and WE NEED YOUR HELP!

If you know any of the following 23 Senators who voted in favor of the Chambers’ motion, please contact them ASAP to encourage them to NOT SUPPORT the motion for reconsideration or other efforts by Sen. Chambers to repeal the half-cent sales tax authority:
Adams, Ashford, Bloomfield, Bolz, Brasch, Carlson, Chambers, Christensen, Conrad, Cook, Hansen, Howard, Janssen, Karpisek, Kintner, Krist, Larson, Mello, Murante, Pirsch, Price, Schumacher and Watermeier.

Nebraska taxpayers deserve to have some control over their sales taxes and being able to invest in the things that make our communities and state exceptional.

Let's remember why we voted for local control for our cities. http://journalstar.com/news/opinion/editorial/editorial-support-local-control/article_0a59912f-5a90-5c84-89fa-441f684919ff.html

Let's get one thing straight. If the legislature votes to override Gov. Dave Heineman's veto of LB357, it won't raise anyone's local sales taxes.

Contact the Speaker of the Unicameral Senator Greg Adams and let him know that you support LOCAL CONTROL. Ask for his vote against Senator Chambers attempt to run LOCAL decisions.

Senator Chambers is working to overturn the decision that the taxpayers of the state made to have greater local control over their taxes. They expect the Unicameral to overturn the law that they made 2 years ago, that the taxpayers of Nebraska voted into law in the 2010 Amendment 1 vote.

Feeling hammered by property taxes? Give communities the power to vote on how they want to fund economic development.

Feeling hammered by property taxes? Vote FOR Amendment 1. Vote FOR local control. Vote FOR Nebraska. Amendment 1 gives control to local cities and towns to vote on other ways of funding economic OTHER than property taxes.
