Nebraska City, Neb. - A community conversation on the ongoing property tax debate is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 12. This public event, hosted by the Center for Rural Affairs, will be held at Rowe Memorial Public Safety Complex, 1518 Central Ave., Nebraska City, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The discussion will focus on the tax debate stemming from this year’s legislative session and the impact of proposals on local residents, schools, and governments.
“The legislative session ended without a solution or clear path forward to the property tax challenge,” said Jordan Rasmussen, policy program associate with the Center for Rural Affairs. “Yet the property tax burden continues to weigh heavily upon rural communities, from residents and farmers, to the school systems and local governments that rely on tax funding to do their work.”
Residents from across Otoe County and the surrounding area are invited to join the conversation on the balance among property taxes, education, and public safety cuts.
“Approaching our current tax environment can be complicated,” said Rasmussen. “Residents need to weigh in as our representatives work toward solutions that sustain the rural communities you call home.”
