For Immediate Release:
Successful Outcomes
in Challenging Financial Times
May 20, 2011, Lincoln—This year a national recession and a sluggish economic recovery had almost every state confronting significant budget shortfalls. Declining tax revenue and dwindling federal stimulus money created many challenges for governors and legislatures about which state services to reduce or eliminate. Most states, including Nebraska, are required to balance their budgets. As tough as things have been here in Nebraska, we are still much better off than many other states. This, I believe, is in part due to the fact that our Constitution requires us to have both a balanced budget and a state savings account, also known as the Cash Reserve Fund.
On May 11th the legislature sent a package of budget bills to Governor Heineman for his approval. He signed and returned the bills without any vetoes. The approved budget appropriates $7.1 billion in state general funds for the next two years. Spending will increase 2.6 percent per year; well below the 20 year average increase of 4.1 percent. The budget is $17 million less that the budget for fiscal years 2008-09. The budget closes what had been projected as almost a billion dollar shortfall with no tax increases.
Based on increased revenue receipts during the last few months, the Nebraska Economic Forecasting Advisory Board increased the revenue outlook for the state significantly. The budget created and passed by the legislature responded to this news by using only $22 million of the Cash Reserve Fund, instead of the originally planned $256 million. At the time of the April forecast, the Appropriations Committee had already finalized its budget proposal, and the legislature had made significant cuts to K-12 school funding, eliminated aid to cities and counties and reduced child care provider rates. By taking a conservative approach to the positive budget outlook news, the legislature is in a good position to reevaluate the budget next year, if the economic climate in Nebraska continues to improve.
Last month I mentioned my third effort, while in the legislature, to sponsor funding for the Heritage Nebraska Main Street Program. This year the need was the most urgent, because the Department of Economic Development (DED) and the Legislature’s Appropriations Committee both deleted the Program’s funding from their budget proposals. At the public hearing in February, Committee members were reminded of Nebraska’s long standing commitment to this Program, of Main Street projects in their own legislative districts and the fact that $16.42 is re-invested in a community for every dollar spent to operate a local program. I am pleased to report that the new biennial budget does include funding for the Heritage Nebraska Main Street Program. In addition, the program’s funding was moved from DED to the Nebraska Arts Council. This change in affiliation will hopefully result in more stable funding for the Program, as well as opportunities for new creative ideas and partnerships in the future.
LB 84, this year’s innovative roads funding bill, has been passed by the legislature and signed into law by the governor. I worked closely with the bill’s sponsor Senator Deb Fischer to advance the bill from the Revenue Committee and to make it clear to our colleagues during floor debate how important this initiative is to our state. LB 84 had strong support and should provide increased roads funding well into the future. A one-fourth cent portion of existing sales tax will be diverted to a newly created State Highway Capital Improvement Fund. The bill will provide approximately $70 million per year for road funding. Cities and counties will receive 15 percent of the sales tax revenue for local road projects, and 25 percent will be designated for expressways. The remaining amount will be used for high priority state road projects. Expressway and high priority road projects funding can potentially help District 2. Roads are a responsibility of government, and the legislature has made the commitment to fund this core governmental duty.

Competition starts at 2 p.m. Participants will be divided into Junior (less than five years experience) and Senior Divisions. Participants will be asked to play a hoedown, waltz and tune of choice. All music should be from the homesteading era of 1862 to when Homestead National Monument of America was created in 1936. First place winners in each category will receive a trophy and be able to choose either prize money or a new fiddle. Second and third place winners will receive a trophy and a cash prize. An evening concert of winners will follow the competition beginning at 7 p.m.
