As an affordable housing professional, I can tell you that Gov. Jim Pillen was right — affordable housing is a problem in Nebraska. Unfortunately, his tax plan would have directly increased the cost to build housing and pushed the price of new housing further out of reach for working families and seniors.
We need people in the Legislature who are not beholden to Pillen but who will do what’s right for everyday Nebraskans. That’s why I support Nicki Behmer Popp for Legislature. She is a Realtor who understands housing needs, she voted against property tax hikes as an elected official, and she spoke out against Pillen’s crazy plan — unlike current Sen.
Carolyn Bosn who was appointed by Pillen. If we are serious about housing, we need leaders who understand the issues and cast their vote with the people not the powerful. People are also reading.
