(KLZA)-- Nebraska has had a great year financially with record tax receipts.
The Department of Revenue reported General Fund receipts for June, 2022 of $56 million above the amount forecast. For the year, net tax receipts are almost $1.47-billion above the certified forecast of $4.88 billion.
1st District State Senator Julie Slama said she expects plenty of options to spend the extra funds will come up during the 2023 Legislative session.
Senator Slama said she is a fan of giving the extra money back to taxpayers through tax relief and does not want to seek government spending expand.
Slama made her comments during a stop in Falls City Friday during her annual tour of the 1st Legislative District.
