Lawmakers ready for public input on revamp of Ricketts' property tax plan
A revamp of Gov. Pete Ricketts' property tax plan will receive a rare late-session public hearing next week as lawmakers race the calendar to address the issue before adjourning for the year.
"Clock's ticking," said Sen. Mike Gloor of Grand Island, chairman of the Legislature's Revenue Committee. "We're trying to move as rapidly as we can with an important bill."
Ricketts signed off on the new proposal Wednesday. The Revenue Committee has scheduled the hearing for March 24 at 2 p.m.
Then, just 11 days will remain in the session, during which the bill (LB958) would need to be amended to reflect the changes, advanced from committee, placed on the Legislature's agenda for debate and passed through three rounds of voting.
