(Lincoln, NE) -- Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts is criticizing lawmakers for a plan to reduce property taxes. The governor's comments came after the legislature's Appropriations Committee voted Tuesday to cut in half the 51-million-dollars Ricketts wanted to add to the state property tax credit program. Ricketts says the latest legislative tax proposal could lead to lower property taxes in the short-term, but the state would end up with higher property and sales taxes long-term.
