On Abortion: Nebraska is pro-life; my budget is pro-life

As I have noted before, Nebraska is a pro-life state. My budget contains the pro-life budget language approved by the body last year. I look forward to working with all of you this session as we represent pro-life Nebraska and look for new ways to support expecting mothers and our unborn children.

On Jobs: Developing Youth Talent: connect 7,000 Nebraskans

I am recommending the expansion of the Developing Youth Talent Initiative to connect more middle school students to opportunities in manufacturing and IT with an additional $1.25 million annually. This program has already impacted 7,000 students, and this expansion will help reach even more. Working together to create more pathways, we can help connect more Nebraskans with the countless great opportunities available in communities statewide.

On Tax Reform: Ease burden of property taxes; plus 3% local cap

Property tax relief is the number one priority Nebraskans want. My budget provides $51 million in new property tax relief through the Property Tax Credit Relief Fund. This is a 23 percent increase in property tax relief to all Nebraska property owners. [I am also] proposing to establish a three percent cap on property taxes levied by local governments. It comes in the form of a constitutional amendment, which must be approved by the people after receiving your consideration.
