Statement by Mark McHargue, President, Regarding Appointment of State Treasurer

LINCOLN, NEB. – “Sen. Tom Briese has been a fantastic advocate for farmers and ranchers throughout Nebraska for seven years. We commend Governor Pillen for appointing Tom to lead our state’s finances as treasurer and thank Sen. Briese for his years of service in the Legislature. A champion for property tax relief and rural Nebraska, Nebraska Farm Bureau is encouraged by the prioritizing of public servants who understand the impact property taxes have on those who produce our food, fiber, and fuel.”
