God bless you all and God bless the great State of Nebraska! — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
Once again, thank you all for your service to the people of Nebraska. Our work in the coming days will take a spirit of collaboration and cooperation for each of us to do our part to keep Nebraska strong. I look forward to the days ahead. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
This year also marks an important milestone. It is the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage. I want to recognize all the female legislators who have stepped up to serve our state. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
Senators Bolz, Chambers, Crawford, Howard, Kolowski, and especially Jim Scheer, who has provided tremendous leadership for the State of Nebraska as Speaker of the Legislature. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
Before I close, I want to recognize the State Senators who are completing their final session. Each of these individuals has devoted the last seven years to serving their district and our state. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
But I also know that the citizen legislators gathered here today can get the job done when everyone rolls up their sleeves and works together. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
I know that there will be tough debates. Long nights. And an unpredictable journey ahead. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
Property tax relief. Flood relief. Veterans tax relief. And growing our people and businesses. These are four ways we can keep Nebraska strong and growing in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
As we implement this agreement, Director Frakes and I continue to look at next steps for the agency and what we need to do to keep our people and communities safe. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
And finally on the topic of workforce, I am recommending $8 million to attract and retain quality teammates in Corrections. This will support the new agreement recently reached with the Corrections Officer union. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
@u_nebraska My recommendations also include funding for LB 720, which would refine Nebraska’s business incentives. It is critical that incentives are dealt with this legislative session, so Nebraska can remain competitive nationally as we work to recruit and expand job opportunities. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
I also want to acknowledge @u_nebraska President Ted Carter who has joined us here today – we look forward to working with you as you lay out your vision for our University system! — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
I am proposing that we invest $16 million in scholarships for students at our community colleges, state colleges, and University system to help connect the next generation of Nebraskans with great careers in fields ranging from math and engineering to healthcare and IT. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
Connecting the next generation of Nebraskans to great opportunities in our state is key to helping our kids make Nebraska their home. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
Fourth, workforce and business expansion. These twin issues need ongoing work in both the public and private sector. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
This week, you voted 46-0 for military retirement tax relief. I want to thank you for advancing LB 153, and encourage you to deliver this tax relief that will help us retain our veterans. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
Third, we need to do more to retain our veterans. Veterans continue to contribute to our communities and our economy after they complete their service. Nebraska is the only state in our region whose veterans’ population is declining in part because we tax retirement benefits. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
I am also recommending an additional $3 million to maintain an adequate balance in the Governor’s Emergency Fund, so the state is prepared to address any future events. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
My recommendation includes $50 million to address the state’s share of these projects and another $9.2 million to aid the counties most severely impacted by the disaster. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
Eighty-four counties and five tribal nations have submitted over $400 million in disaster relief projects to @fema. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
Second, flood relief. Communities across Nebraska have been rebuilding, but there’s still a long way to go. The federal government will step up to provide significant support, but the state must do our part as well. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
We need local spending restraint because, over the last 10 years, local governments have raised local property taxes 54 percent while inflation only grew at 17 percent. — PolitiTweet.org
Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts
As we work together, I have three principles I am following: No tax increases, protect the Property Tax Credit Relief Fund, and encourage spending restraint in local governments just like we are doing at the state. — PolitiTweet.org
