High, confiscatory
property taxes are taxing not only elderly people and those on fixed
incomes out of their homes but also driving out working people. The root
of the problem is our runaway property valuation law revised in 1995 by
then-Gov. Ben Nelson and the Legislature. We must change this law!

Taxpayer Group Monitors and Rates Voting in Unicameral As we believe that Nebraskans have a right to know how their elected officials vote, NEBRASKA TAXPAYERS FOR FREEDOM annually monitors the voting records of state legislators in the Nebraska Unicameral. NTF rates senators in the following categories: 1) fiscal responsibility We rate state senators from the most conservative to the least conservative. This year, NTF tracked 85 bills. Starting at a base of zero, senators received 1.18%
credit for each good vote. on the scale was State Sen. Don Pederson (District 42), with a 30.7 % score. Said NTF chairman Doug Kagan, "The executive committee of the Legislature refuses to place the complete voting records of state senators on the official Unicameral Internet web site, a site paid for by taxpayer money. Because legislators apparently do not want overtaxed and over-regulated Nebraskans to see state senator voting records, NTF will place its complete 2006 voting record on its web site: |

SUGGESTION FOR A BURMA SHAVE SIGN
ON NEBRASKA STATE BORDER HIGHWAYS:
Our deficit spirals,
As revenues fall.
Senators in session
Raise taxes for all!
Stealing our savings,
They cut us no slack.
I'm leaving Nebraska
And I'm not coming back!
MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN:
People
often contact me with complaints about their taxes, government spending, and
burdensome bureaucratic rules. Unfortunately, most of these complainers only
want to complain. They seem to think that NTF can wave a magic wand and almost
immediately ameliorate our tax-and-spend climate in Nebraska. They themselves do
not want to help fight the Tax-and-Spend Monsters. Taxpayers must understand
that tax-, spending-, and regulation-reform and relief requires a mass movement
of committed people. It takes little time, effort, and expense to become a
taxpayer watchdog. Please come to our meetings at Millard Library in Omaha and
join our grass-roots taxpayers organization. Please feel free to email me
for further information.
Doug Kagan
