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.”
