Dennis Schaardt:

"I believe the school choice discussion should involve more than just private schools. Often times we see parents opt their kids into another public school district." *Referring to the school choice tax credit and funding for the Opportunity Scholarship program passed by the Nebraska Legislature, "Schaardt said he's not in favor of such "school choice" policies. If they've got $10 million to throw at that, why didn't we throw $10 million at tax relief," he said."

Dennis Schaardt:

Yes

With other forms of gambling already legalized in Nebraska, we need to be ahead of the curve to put policy in place. Not only to better enforce it, but to come up with a tax structure around it to help ease the tax burden in other areas.
