OpenSky statement on September’s tax receipts report

For immediate release – Oct. 14, 2016

LINCOLN — Below is a statement from OpenSky Policy Institute Executive Director Renee Fry regarding the Department of Revenue’s September Tax Receipts Report.

“The growing budget shortfall raises a red flag that perhaps we have gone too far with tax cuts in recent years. The continued downturn in revenue threatens investments in schools and other vital services and makes it more difficult to address pressing issues like corrections and property taxes.”
