I've added 2022 data to the #Nebraska TIF Report

We've now refunded $1.3B in taxes back to developers.

#Omaha has a new record holder: East Campus Realty, LLC has received $41.3M in tax refunds so far.

We’re discussing how we can make government meetings more accessible for everyone. What information do you think should be out there? Let us know!

Hey local TIF people. Can anyone explain why Omaha seems to be SO MUCH WORSE at recouping TIF than Lincoln?

We also updated our public salary database to reflect this reality. You can now view salary and overtime pay for every state employee and dept. Thank you to the @PlatteInstitute & @CodeForNebraska for partnering on this key government transparency project.

@edwin_schroeder @sj_obc @NE_Examiner Our friends @CodeForNebraska have run https://t.co/eUpl3JHsrd for a few years. Again, not all the answers. But a great resource and important public service.

I made a thing: 2021 Nebraska Legislature calendar https://t.co/PKMyRChPeq It might become a proper thing eventually via @CodeForNebraska

[Flatwater Free Press @flatwaterfreep]

Read FFP exec director @mattwynn’s column that more fully explains why we view this as a tool for watchdog journalism…and also how we are actively working to build something similar to make the funding of political campaigns more transparent in Nebraska.
