Property tax measure faces uncertain future in Nebraska

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The latest attempt to lower property taxes in Nebraska faces an uncertain future as lawmakers squabble over whether it would hurt K-12 public schools that rely heavily on the revenue.

Lawmakers debated the measure for nearly three hours Wednesday but failed to reach a vote before they adjourned for the day.

A leading supporter, Sen. Lou Ann Linehan, of Omaha, says she believes she has enough votes to pass the complex bill but cautioned that lawmakers need more time to discuss and understand everything it does.
