I don’t think that’s a serious criticism. I’ve seen no rollback of any ag favoritism from tax to enviro policy. Both the right and the left fully support ag, sometimes in unwise ways. Farming is probably the most bipartisan thing I’ve seen in 20 years of study.

And am I reading this right? Only 5% of the population will pay less overall tax. 95% will see no change or pay more tax. Fully 80% will pay more tax. That seems . . . Problematic.
The tax package that is likely to be debated this week would make Nebraska’s tax system more regressive by reducing the tax burden on those with the greatest ability to pay.

Regulating discharges of pollutants in areas that are very connected to waterways is an important protective measure. Get serious about water quality and ag’s exceptions before signing onto boogeyman arguments about the EPA, COE, and the CWA.
