Updates from the Legislature merged

Senator Rob Clements Column 8-14-2020

2020 Legislative Session Major Bills

The 2020 Legislative Session has ended after a four month delay due to COVID 19. Major bills were passed, including property tax relief, business incentives, an abortion ban, and a military pension exemption.

LB 1107, which I supported, is a new property tax credit. State funding starts at $125 million in 2020, increasing to $375 million by year 5. The credit is about 6% of your school property tax paid, increasing later to 18% and is a refundable income tax credit. State revenues must increase by 3.5% before the fund increases, but it is guaranteed to be $375 million by 2025. Then it increases with the growth of statewide property values. This is a good start, but we still need a better long-term solution. Still in effect is the current $275 million Property Tax Credit, which is deducted from your property tax bill, based on your property value.

The new business incentive plan, called ImagiNE Nebraska, replaces the Nebraska Advantage Act. It provides $25 million each of the first two years, $100 million years 3 and 4, and $150 million in year 5. It has much better reporting of taxes forgiven and its economic benefits.

The third part of LB 1107 includes funds up to $300 million if UNMC is selected for a federal biocontainment and research hospital. It is funded only after the new property tax fund reaches $375 million.

Another bill, LB 814, bans dismemberment abortion of live babies. I was a co-sponsor, and it passed with 33 votes. It survived an intense filibuster, and I am glad we now ban this inhumane second trimester procedure. I thank Sen. Suzanne Geist of Lincoln for her hard work in this effort. Only the doctor, not the woman would be charged with a violation.

Finally, LB 153 exempts 50% of military retirement pay from state income tax. It starts Jan. 1, 2022 so the $12 million cost can be budgeted. This will make Nebraska more competitive with our neighboring states who do not tax military pensions at all. It encourages retiring veterans to stay in Nebraska, get private jobs, buy houses, and contribute to our economy. I was glad to be a co-sponsor and to help pass it this session.

Feel free to contact me or my staff for assistance, information, or questions on issues. You may reach me at: Senator Rob Clements, State Capitol Rm 812, Lincoln, NE 68509, Phone 4024712613, or email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

PCS Superintendent Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update - August 14, 2020

Parents/Guardians/Patrons/Staff,

Good evening. We had three great days of welcoming our students back at our elementary school, middle school, and high school. Early childhood/Head Start starts on Tuesday, August 18, 2020.

There were a few cases of COVID-19 this week, with individuals being isolated/quarantined accordingly. It is very helpful when we receive information in a timely manner and can take action to help slow the spread of coronavirus. We will continue to work in collaboration with the Sarpy/Cass Health Department relative to COVID-19. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this uncertain environment of COVID-19.

I have some very good news. Today, I did not receive information about any new potential COVID-19 cases for students and/or staff members.

Thank you to our faculty and staff members that have been diligently implementing our protocols for returning to school. Thank you to our parents/guardians for sharing COVID-19 information with us in a timely manner such that we were able to take quick action. #PLATTSMOUTHSTRONG

Several important documents and links are included below relative to returning to school.

What can we do right now? All of us can help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and “flatten the curve.” Click HERE for some tips from the Centers for Disease Control.

It will be great if we continue to have a concerted school and community effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. According to the Centers for Disease Control, people with COVID-19 have reported a wide range of symptoms from mild to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus and include, but are not necessarily limited to, fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Learn more at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html.

If you or someone you know experiences symptoms, please consider contacting a medical provider. Timely reporting of COVID-19 will help ensure those affected are quarantined/isolated and there is a limited spread of the virus.

Another option for screening yourself or those that you know is an app called 1-Check COVID. The app was launched by the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Download it from the app store on your Apple and Android devices. Simply enter “1-Check COVID.”

Thank you for your patience and support of everyone as we navigate the environment of COVID-19. We will get through this together. If we consistently wear masks when around others, maintain 6 ft. of physical distance when possible, wash our hands regularly, and report positive cases of COVID-19 in a timely manner, I am confident that we can collectively slow the spread of the virus. Let’s do this together!

Social/emotional health of students, families, and staff members is extremely important in our COVID-19 environment. If you or someone you know needs assistance, please contact one of our four school social workers/licensed mental health practitioners (SSW/LMHP).

In-Person and Remote Learning

Thank you for your support of the Plattsmouth Community Schools. We will get through this together! We Are Blue Devil Nation! We are #PLATTSMOUTHSTRONG!

Best regards,

Superintendent Dr. Richard E. Hasty
