Senator Jen Day

All working people deserve good jobs and the power to determine their wages and working conditions. That's why I support Unions. They are also a great way to engage women in careers that help to lift up their families. @NE_AFLCIO @AFLCIO #TeamBlood #Congress

@Protectaxpayers Read their brief write-up on the bill here: protectingtaxpayers.org/spending/july-…

SO honored that my LB 29, the bill to sell the state plane and put funds recovered toward property tax relief, has been chosen as Taxpayers Protection Alliance's (@Protectaxpayers) Bill of the Month! Thanks for support, TPA.

All hearings on my special session legislation are behind us🧘‍♀️

My hearings for LBs 29 and 30 are scheduled for tomorrow before the Transportation and Revenue Committees, respectively. Speaker Arch announced this morning that hearings will go through Saturday and he'll announce next week's schedule on Friday.

First day of special session public hearings and my LB 12, which would provide ONE BILLION DOLLARS in tax relief, is up before the Revenue Committee🎉 Watch live on NPM here: nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/series-medi…

LB 30 is a reintroduction of my disabled vets homestead exemption bill which I've brought several years in a row. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is the LEAST we can do for a group of people who have sacrificed so much for our country. (3/3)

LB 29 sells the state plane and places funds recovered into a fund for property tax relief (or to cover the costs of the special session). The Gov can still charter a plane in case of natural disasters or military emergencies. (2/3)

Special session bill breakdown ⬇️ My LB 12 proactively applies the property tax credit to a person's taxes. If passed, this would result in ONE BILLION dollars in tax relief. (1/3)

I've introduced three bills this special session -- LBs 12, 29 and 30. Will update as these bills make their way through the hearing process!

I promise you there are many of us that take this process seriously because we know it affects your lives.

Good policymaking, especially tax reform, is not buffet style; you can’t just say I want a little of this, a little of that. You have to carefully consider different options, their repercussions and unintended consequences. Anything else causes more problems than it solves.

Aaaaaand we're back! The special session on property tax relief is set to convene today at 10am. I have a few proposals I plan to drop, but my big focus is ensuring whatever gets passed is sustainable and doesn't shift the tax burden onto low and middle-income families.

49 green votes for District 49 on my priority bill, LB 126 ✅It didn't come out exactly like I wanted but we did make some important improvements to our Homestead Exemption and I'm excited to keep working on it next year. Thanks to my colleagues for the support on this bill.
