NSC Rules RRB Taxes Unconstitutional
The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that the responsibility for Compact compliance on the Republican River Basin is a State responsibility and hence the property taxes raised locally to pay the State's bill violate the Nebraska Constitution.
A copy of the ruling is here.
This ruling is much more damaging to LB 701 than the District Court ruling. The ball is now in the State's hands as to how to keep the area in compliance.
