Americans for Prosperity – Nebraska Criticizes New State Tax Shift
LINCOLN, NE – Today, in response to a new proposal from state lawmakers to decrease property taxes by increasing sales taxes, Americans for Prosperity – Nebraska is reminding voters that the policy would actually amount to a tax hike for most people. The new sales tax would be the highest of any state and would apply to everything from cars to clothing.
AFP-NE State Director John Gage released the following statement:
“Nebraskans deserve true tax reform, not a tax shift. You can’t cut taxes by raising taxes. Lawmakers need to focus this session on providing real tax relief through lower spending and direct cuts.”
