You may find a list of “talking points” on our website:
https://epicoption.org/home/f/march-3—hearing-date-for-lb-79-lr-6ca-lr-7ca
Please, do NOT use all the talking points! You will be most effective by using ONE of the talking points (two if absolutely necessary) that relates to your personal experience. A solid, sincere, and short testimony from your heart is the most effective tesimony you possible can submit.
Here is an example, much less than 500 words or three minutes:
“When I sold my residence of almost 40 years, I was paying more in property tax each year than my original mortgage! I am fortunate that I was able to keep my home until I was able to upgrade. Some of my friends had to sell their home and move into an apartment. Some were fortunate enough to be able to sell their home and move to another state where the property taxes were much less. I have other friends who are praying that EPIC will pass before they are forced to sell. What property rights do we have in Nebraska with the current tax system?”
Thank you for investing your precious time to provide encouragement to our senators during floor debate on the most important change to our state taxing system in over 50 years! Our Founding Fathers and Mothers risked their fortunes, businesses, limbs, and lives to birth our country based on Christian principles. It is our responsibility to invest our time to transform our current broken state tax system into a system that provides huge incentive for citizens to work – live – pray – stay — and raise their family in Nebraska.
This opportunity also is rare. You may not have another chance like it in your lifetime. It is so important issue to protect our families from the current burdensome taxes that Nebraska residents MUST pay!
Sincerely,
Rob Rohrbough
