“We appreciate what these individuals bring to the table in helping lead our state. All have made positive contributions to the Legislature,” said Mark McHargue of Central City, chairman of NEFB-PAC and first vice president of Nebraska Farm Bureau.
McHargue noted the value of Sen. Thibodeau’s experience as a small business owner in the Legislature, as well as pointing to Sen. Lindstrom’s contributions as a member of the Revenue Committee in helping advance the tax reform conversation.
McHargue also highlighted Sen. McCollister’s work to introduced legislation last year to implement a sales tax on remote sellers – a bill to level the playing field for Main Street businesses and increase state revenue which could make meaningful property tax relief a reality.
