Nebraska Budget Crisis Deepens

Nebraska’s budget’s in deep trouble as tax revenues keep falling short—now facing a projected $172 million deficit on top of an already massive $631 million shortfall. Individual and corporate income taxes are taking the biggest hits, down 15% and 33% respectively, while sales taxes offer the only glimmer of hope. The culprit? Unplanned tax refunds that drained state coffers even after April 15. Lawmakers won’t get a clear picture until October’s forecast meeting—when they’ll have to scramble to fix the books before the next two-year budget cycle kicks in.
