Established by – Jon Bruning, Attorney General
INITIATIVE ON LIMITING THE GROWTH OF STATE SPENDING
A vote “FOR” will amend the Nebraska Constitution to impose a
state spending limit based upon a calculation involving previous appropriations,
the inflation rate and population change in Nebraska.
A vote “AGAINST” will not amend the Nebraska Constitution to
impose such a state spending limit.
Shall the Nebraska Constitution be amended to limit state spending
based upon a calculation involving previous appropriations, the inflation
rate and population change? The Legislature could seek voter authorization
to exceed the spending limit. Appropriations subject to the limit would not
include emergency appropriations and appropriations of monies from the federal
government, monies from nongovernmental entities, proceeds from the sale
of property, monies dedicated to pro-rata taxpayer relief and refunds, monies
from user charges, income from certain permanent funds such as endowment
and pension funds, and surplus funds held in reserve. Taxpaying residents
could enforce the spending limit. |
