I rise today to highlight the success of Governor Jim Pillen in Nebraska to help reduce property and income taxes while expanding educational opportunities across our state. 

Less than a year ago, Pillen took office as Nebraska experienced historic levels of tax revenues. 

His first budget poured billions into property tax relief, helping to alleviate Nebraska’s high property taxes.

He cut income taxes and sped up the total repeal of Social Security taxes. 

He also increased the amount of funding the state provides for special education and created an Education Future Fund, which committed $1 billion to help Nebraska’s schools.

Along the way, he made history by bringing school choice to Nebraska by establishing a scholarship tax credit to help families access more educational opportunities. 

This is really just a snapshot of what Governor Pillen has accomplished in less than 12 months, and there’s more to come. 

Keep up the great work, Governor Pillen! 

Thank you and I yield back.
