Tax Reform Blueprint in Nebraska (Talking Tax)
Attracting People and Opportunities. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Tom Yamachika and Jim Smith.
\n
\nBlueprint Nebraska, a campaign dedicated to increasing Nebraska\u2019s economic growth and competitiveness over the next decade, has released its proposed framework for bringing Nebraska\u2019s tax system into the 21st century.
\n
\nBlueprint Nebraska\u2019s Taxation & Incentives Industry Council took insights from surveys, public forums, and tax policy research to develop a plan that gives Nebraska a regionally-competitive tax climate that is more inviting to workforce talent.
\n
\nThe headline benefits for Nebraskans include allowing taxpayers to earn up to $50,000 free of state income tax, dedicating an additional $2 billion to property tax relief over the next ten years, and an elimination of Nebraska\u2019s inheritance tax. This is in addition to new student loan relief programs and a doubling of Research and Development investments.
\n
\nWe discuss what lessons Hawaii might be able to learn from Nebraska's efforts to attract people and opportunities.
