The Governor is planning on calling a special session of the Unicameral later this summer. He is determined to get his property tax reductions passed come hell or high water. Also bubbling under the radar is his plan to make Nebraska a “Winner Take All” state when it comes to electoral votes.

When I was a kid and my sister or brother were allowed to have something or do something I couldn’t, my father said it wasn’t fair. His go-to response to that every time was, “Life isn’t fair.”

After 20 years of helping Midwesterners in Nebraska and Iowa make their business ownership dreams a reality, I’ve found that entrepreneurship begins with a certain mindset. My experience as a franchise broker and consultant has taught me that people consider business ownership for various reasons. Some grew up idolizing their own entrepreneurial parents or relatives and want to follow in their footsteps. Others are interested in exploring a career transition to try something new or different for a change.

Governor Pillen and I have something in common. Neither one of us has a clue on how to pass a 40% reduction in property taxes. The Governor said he was planning on calling a special session of the Unicameral after he failed to get his priority legislation passed this year.

The last time I bought a house it took a while. 44 days to be exact. This was strange because it was a house in my neighborhood that I had been in many times before. I knew the schools, I knew the neighbors, and I knew about the light not working in the bathroom if you used the outlet outside. And it still took 44 days. In that 44 days the bank that was loaning me the money had to be sure.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Natural gas drilling companies would be banned in New York from using an extraction method that involves injecting large amounts of liquified carbon dioxide deep underground under a bill moving through the state legislature.
The measure would immediately block a Texas company that wants to use the method as an alternative to hydraulic fracturing with a water-based solution.

During the summer of 2016 I was doing a talk radio program in Kansas City. You will recall this was the time when the Donald Trump phenomime was really gaining steam. I’ll admit I was and still am perplexed about the attraction to the former President, so I asked my callers to tell me what they saw in him that I wasn’t seeing.

In January, I received an email from my apartment complex saying that I could now divide my monthly rent into two payments via a product called Flex.
I would make the first payment on the first of the month, but I could choose when to make the second payment. According to the email, this would help me pay rent on time, improve my cash flow and even build my credit history. Enticing, right?
