Finally, Good Tax News! Or Not…
Maybe Nebraska isn’t going to find itself in an ugly budget jam after all, now that May tax receipts came in four percent above projections. That follows April’s dismal 10% shortcoming.
Except ... not so much. It turns out that a big chunk—$14 million—of May’s receipts involves one-time money. Take that away and receipts are actually down 2-3% from projections. Bummer.
State senators, it’s sure looking like we’ll be seeing you back in Lincoln this fall.

I’m thankful Tri State Drilling, Plymouth Minnesota and Price Gregory, Houston Texas are spending a lot of money in State the next couple of months.
Tri State is doing the powerline project and Price is doing the pipeline.
Price has spent over 15 grand at my company since May 18th.
