Taxpayers deserve to know how taxpayer dollars are being spent

LINCOLN, NE – Americans for Prosperity-Nebraska (AFP-NE) today expressed concern with the lack of transparency displayed by the Appropriations Committee in regard to releasing committee vote records.

Americans for Prosperity-Nebraska State Director Jessica Shelburn issued the following statement:

“For too long, our Appropriations Committee has obstructed taxpayers from knowing how the committee is spending their tax dollars. It is a disservice to every Nebraskan that Chairman Stinner refuses to be transparent with votes that affect their everyday lives. Instead of hiding these votes, Chairman Stinner should allow Nebraskans to see whether their lawmakers are being good stewards of our taxpayer dollars.”
