@BrentHusker This is also why we are looking to leave Nebraska. On top of ridiculous property taxes, we pay high income and sales taxes. Don't get me started on vehicle tax. $1100 to renew the registration for a 2025 Toyota pickup?
Nebraska ranks 4th highest in the nation for property taxes.
Any state senator that dismisses this is as "fake news" is either ignorant, oblivious, obtuse, or diverting/deflecting from their incompetence.
Any state senator that dismisses THEIR responsibility to SOLVE the problem VIA the amendment of State Statutes (their PRIMARY purpose IS amendment of State Statutes) is either ignorant, oblivious, obtuse, or diverting/deflecting from their incompetence.
Homeowners in Nebraska, paying an average of $5,516 a year on a $400,000 home—way above the national average of $3,552 is BY DESIGN.
This math IS relative to ALL Nebraskans, no matter the "valuation" of your house. It's relative for all Nebraskans...because if you don't PAY, THEY take your home.
This didn't just manifest on its own. These numbers didn't, by happenstance, just appear. The "COST" (your taxes) of keeping ALL government operating didn't incrementally increase because of inflation.
It's PURPOSEFUL. It's with INTENTION. It's by the ignorance, obliviousness, obtuseness, and/or diverting/deflecting of incompetence.
But do not be fooled that solutions don't exist.
Lowering property taxes is essential, but doing it by leaning on state-funded subsidies while our budget faces mounting debt is a shell game.
And know this...after this upcoming Unicameral session, those "tax credits" are going to be sacrificed for the State budgets "needs".
Your TOTAL property tax bill IS going to go up in 2027.
We will be ranked #1 highest in the nation for property taxes. Go Big Red, right?🤯😡
We can't keep masking local spending problems with state cash without putting our fiscal health in a chokehold.
Real relief requires structural spending restraint, not shifting the burden to a growing state budget debt.
The Second Chamber is the ONLY avenue for solving this problem. We will Make Nebraska Even Better, together.

$164,000 A YEAR. THAT'S WHAT ONE COMPANY SAVES BY LETTING ONE PERSON RUN FOUR EXCAVATORS FROM A SINGLE CHAIR.
The machines sit at four separate rural gravel pits, each one busy for maybe 1-2 hours out of an 8-hour shift, one or two trucks a day. Not enough work to justify parking a full-time operator at any single site.
One operator runs all four from a single bank of screens, hundreds of miles from any of them. An AI layer watches all four feeds at once and tells them which pit needs attention first. The grade-control display does its own terrain read, catching depth errors down to a couple centimeters as the bucket moves.
Four site-based operators: about $224,000 a year combined.
One remote operator plus four AI-assisted consoles: roughly $60,000 a year in wages, $240,000 in equipment across all four machines, cameras, wireless control units, and the AI layer itself.
Under a year and a half, the hardware pays for itself in wages alone.
The article below calls this the next wave after digital agents. It's already stepping off the screen and into dirt nobody gets paid to stand in anymore.
@DrunkDividends Learn from this and don't be stupid with your money. You could have looked at his other IPOs and seen the pattern and waited to invest. You were just dumb.
