John,
Last week, Governor Ricketts delivered his annual State of the State address this week—and it was full of conservative priorities!
The Governor’s top priorities: Controlling spending and tax relief. His plans will keep government spending in check and put more money back into the pockets of hardworking Nebraskans in 2022.
In case you missed the speech, we rounded up the top 3 things you need to know about the Governor’s budget and legislative initiatives.
- Controlling Spending: Governor Ricketts’ recommendations limit State budget growth to 2.9% over the next two years.
-
Protecting Property Tax Relief: The Governor wants to ensure that the annual amount of property tax relief through the Refundable Income Tax Credit will remain at least $548 million per year.
-
Delivers More Tax Relief: The Governor’s plan cuts income taxes for working families and cuts taxes on job creators. He also wants to speed up plans to fully exempt taxes on Social Security benefits.

Governor Ricketts’ leadership has helped Nebraska remain the best state in the nation to live, work, and raise a family. It’s up to each of us to support the Governor and Republicans in the Legislature who are working to make the Good Life even better.
Sincerely,
Taylor Gage, NEGOP Executive Director
