OpenSky statement on the latest forecasting board projections

For immediate release – Oct. 28, 2016

LINCOLN — The following is a statement from OpenSky Policy Institute Executive Director Renee Fry regarding the projections made Friday by the Nebraska Economic Forecasting Advisory Board:

“This forecast highlights economic uncertainty in Nebraska, particularly in our agricultural sector, reinforcing the need for a serious discussion about strategies and investments needed to promote economic prosperity and opportunities in our state. Talk of income tax cuts and reducing revenue further is a distraction from the real challenges and issues that our state faces.”

Contact Chuck Brown at 402-610-1522 or cbrown@openskypolicy.org for more information.

Stay up to date on policy and research impacting all Nebraskans.
