Today, Governor Pete Ricketts issued a statement following a decision by the Nebraska Economic Forecasting Advisory Board, which raised the revenue forecast by $161 million for the current fiscal year FY2019-20 and $105 million for fiscal year FY2020-21.
"This new forecast pegs revenues at $266 million higher over the next two years," said Gov. Ricketts. "This will allow property tax relief to move full steam ahead during the upcoming legislative session."
