What is the cost of government and what should it be? • Nebraska Examiner
Tax policy is not a thrilling topic at the barbecue, but the taxes we pay are perennial subjects of conversation in Nebraska. As recipients of the property tax, we (counties, municipalities and schools) are as sensitive as anyone to the issue.
With a special session called explicitly for property taxes, we offer our perspective on how to approach them. We do not claim that doing any one thing in particular will “fix” property taxes, but we can offer general guidelines to inform policy discussions. Determining a proper tax structure boils down to how we collectively answer four basic questions:
- What does government need to pay for?
- How much is needed?
- Who do we want to pay for it?
- How do you want them to pay?
Years ago, these questions were answered in a way that led to our current tax structure. They are worth revisiting now.
What does government need to pay for?
Let’s first distinguish between “needs” and “wants,” which is difficult. Gov. Jim Pillen has suggested that not everything government pays for is a need, and we applaud his effort to “clean out the closets” by removing various state unfunded mandates on local governments.
Political subdivisions are creatures of the state. Their “needs” are largely determined by state statutes. The Legislature has assigned to counties the duties of roads, bridges, law enforcement, jails, courts, elections, and the collection of certain taxes and fees. Municipalities are responsible for community and economic development; providing public safety, including law enforcement, fire protection and EMS; public transportation infrastructure such as streets, roads and bridges; safe drinking water; wastewater treatment; solid waste management; libraries, parks and recreation centers; and other quality of life services. The schools have the duty to provide free instruction for children between the ages of 5 and 21 in the common schools of our state. This requires teachers, para-educators, bus drivers, coaches, administrators, janitors and other workers.
How much is needed?
Counties, municipalities and schools have an annual public budgeting process. Counties are required to publish one- and six-year plans on what the highway superintendent will do with roads and bridges. Law enforcement needs are mandated by state statute and oversight agencies such as the Crime Commission. The jails are given basic requirements by the state. Elections are overseen by the secretary of state.
Schools have numerous mandates from the state government, federal government and courts. These rarely come with the necessary funding.
Municipalities also face increasing costs and budgetary challenges due to unfunded mandates imposed by state and federal laws, regulations and court decisions, ranging from additional training requirements to preparation of reports and documents to be filed with the state or federal government.
A crucial point is that the cost of government has risen independent of CPI. Goods government pays for – gravel, asphalt, law enforcement vehicles and equipment, road graders, etc. – are not purchased at Walmart or off Amazon. Governments seek bids from a limited pool of vendors, and individual municipalities, counties and school districts do not always have the purchasing power to drive prices down.
Who do we want to pay?
As a state, we have determined local taxpayers should pay for items of a local nature. Traditionally, those have been considered (for counties): roads, bridges, law enforcement, jails, courts, tax collection and elections. For schools, it has been classroom teachers and facilities. For cities and villages, local taxpayers pay for municipal employees’ salaries; municipal facilities and equipment relating to law enforcement, fire protection, streets and roads; safe and plentiful drinking water; wastewater treatment; solid waste management; libraries; and parks and recreation centers.
These all have a mix of local and statewide impact. Roads and bridges, for instance, are critical segments of our state’s network of highways and byways. Law enforcement, courts, and the jails are all geared toward the prosecution and defense of state laws. Elections are for local, statewide and federal races.
High-quality public education gives every child the skills needed to compete and thrive in the 21st century.
How do we want them to pay?
The three main sources of revenue are property, income and sales taxes. Income taxes should relate to a citizen’s ability to pay but can fluctuate from one year to the next. Areas with less income would be unable to pay for basic needs.
Sales taxes relate to a person’s willingness to pay, which is a measure of the ability to pay, but also trap more sparsely populated areas in a loop of increasingly diminished infrastructure. Property taxes are generally stable and relate to the value of real property, but not necessarily to an owner’s ability to pay.
Nebraska has consistently chosen property tax as a major funding source for local governments due to its stability. However, we are not limited to just the property tax. Other states have adopted a tax structure which diverts sales and income taxes to the communities in which they were raised.
That said, we have experienced that when the state experiences economic downturns, state aid to local government can and will be sharply reduced or eliminated. If this were pursued, we advocate for placing local funding guarantees in the Constitution.
Conclusion
We do not advocate for any particular position or policy regarding how taxes should be governed. Instead, we advocate for a thoughtful approach to what government should be responsible for. Then it is the obligation of the Legislature to determine how to raise the revenues necessary to have government perform its assigned duties. In fact, raising “the necessary revenues of the state and its political subdivisions” has been in our Constitution for over 100 years.
Schools, counties, and municipalities are the primary recipients of the property tax, and these taxes are spent on the basic infrastructure and essential services to Nebraskans that allow our communities to grow. Our organizations support taking pressure off property owners with additional state property tax relief, so long as our communities and services to citizens aren’t negatively impacted.
On the 12th day of the 2026 transfer portal cycle, Nebrasketball picked up its fourth commitment.
Boden Kapke, a 6-foot-11 forward/center out of Boston College, has committed to the Huskers. He has one season of eligibility remaining.
Kapke announced his commitment on social media, captioning his post, “🔴⚪️GBR🌽”
Kapke began his college career at Butler. As a true freshman, he played in 22 games, averaging 7.0 minutes of action per contest. In limited run during his first season of collegiate action, he shot 48% from the field and made seven of his 17 attempts (41%) from three-point range.
As a sophomore, Kapke made 16 starts while appearing in 34 of the team’s 35 games. In just 13.4 minutes per game, he averaged 4.1 points and 2.8 rebounds. He shot 40% from the field and 27% (18-for-66) from deep.
Kapke transferred to Boston College for his junior season. In his lone year with the Eagles, his numbers jumped to 10.6 points and 5.7 rebounds over 26.7 minutes a game. He made 17 starts in 31 appearances on the year. He shot 47% from the field and 33% on three-pointers.
Out of Victoria, Minnesota, Kapke was a finalist for his state’s 2023 Mr. Basketball. As a senior, he averaged 23 points and 13 rebounds a game, helping Holy Family Catholic to a 29-3 record and the Class AA State Tournament semifinals.
Kapke finished his prep career with 1,796 career points and 1,062 rebounds.
Nebraska lost nearly all of its frontcourt production from a 28-7 campaign that ended in the Sweet 16. Starter Rienk Mast and backup Jared Garcia have both exhausted their eligibility, while starter Berke Büyüktuncel entered the transfer portal last week.
The Huskers do have a returning frontcourt player in Leo Curtis. The 7-foot-2 native of Iceland appeared in 17 games as a true freshman.
Nebraska also picked up a likely starting four man from Belmont in Sam Orme. The full-time starter as a redshirt sophomore this past season, Orme averaged 12.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 25.8 minutes per game.
Still up in the air is the status of Central Michigan transfer Ugnius Jaruševičius. The Lithuanian big man played in just one game in 2025-26 with Nebraska and is seeking a medical waiver for an additional year of eligibility. With his back issues and a waiver being needed from the NCAA, the coaching staff can’t be certain that he’ll be available next season.
As of this commitment, Kapke would slide into the starting five spot. Kapke is nearly identical to Mast in terms of size, bringing one more inch of height and five more pounds of weight. His offensive play style, however, would be more similar to what Husker fans saw from Büyüktuncel.
A final decision is still to be announced from Boise State forward/center Drew Fielder. The former Georgetown big averaged 14.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists this past season with the Broncos, shooting 40.9.% on three-pointers and 60.6% inside the arc. Fielder has visited Nebraska and Washington and is visiting Alabama this weekend.
On Friday, Nebraska picked up a starting ball handler in Utah Valley’s Trevan Leonhardt. This past season, he started all 35 games, averaging 11.8 points, 6.0 assists, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.1 steals per contest. He earned first-team All-WAC and All-Defensive team honors.
Nebraska’s starting lineup right now projects to be Leonhardt, Sandfort, Frager, Orme, and Kapke. That gives the Huskers a starting lineup height of 6-foot-5, 6-foot-7, 6-foot-7, 6-foot-9, and 6-foot-11. As for three-point shooting, that group had averages in 2025-26 of 37%, 41.6%, 35.2%, 40.4%, and 33%.
Multiple pieces from last year have confirmed they will be returning.
First-team All-Big Ten selection Pryce Sandfort will be back for his senior season. Coach Fred Hoiberg confirmed earlier this month that the first-team All-Big Ten selection had been battling a sports hernia injury. Sandfort underwent surgery after the season ended and will be rehabbing for several weeks, diminishing the potential of him leaving early for the NBA draft.
Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year Braden Frager re-signed with Nebraska. He will slide into one of the starting spots vacated by Sam Hoiberg and Jamarques Lawrence. In his redshirt freshman season, Frager hit the 20-point scoring mark six times on his way to averaging 11.8 points a game off the bench.
Curtis and main rotation piece Cale Jacobsen have also had their returns confirmed. In 2025-26, Jacobsen played in all 35 contests, averaging 4.6 points on 52 percent shooting, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game with a 2.1-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Along with Jaruševičius, sharpshooter Connor Essegian is also seeking a medical waiver for an additional year of eligibility. However, he did get an official return post on social media. In the seven games he was on the floor this season, he averaged 5.4 points per game, making eight three-pointers.
Other players on the roster to be confirmed returning are Henry Burt and Will Cooper.
The Huskers are also adding a pair of high school signees. Colin Rice and Jacob Lanier are both four-star forward prospects and could see the floor earlier in their collegiate careers.
Besides 61-game starter Büyüktuncel, Nebraska has also seen Quentin Rhymes and Justin Bolis leave via the transfer portal.
Nebraska now has two open spots remaining on the roster. The portal remains open through April 21.

Nebraska proposes $600 million renovation of Memorial Stadium to be finished in time for 2028 season
Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium will undergo a $600 million overhaul that will make the 103-year-old venue more fan-friendly and greatly increase revenue for the athletic department, according to a plan announced Friday and expected to be approved next week.
“Big Red Rebuild,” as the project is called, would be funded by a mix of $250 million in philanthropic support and $350 million in private bond financing. Completion is targeted for the start of the 2028 football season. University regents will consider the proposal at its meeting in Lincoln next Friday.
“Memorial Stadium is one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports and this project ensures that our stadium is well-positioned for future generations,” athletic director Troy Dannen said. “We have listened intently to Nebraska fans and are building a best-in-class fan experience that will also drive revenue for the University of Nebraska, create exciting new year-round programming for Nebraskans, create new opportunities for our student-athletes, and position Nebraska to compete and lead at the highest level in a rapidly evolving college athletics landscape.”
The Cornhuskers have played at Memorial Stadium since 1923 and will enter this season with an NCAA-record sellout streak of 410 games dating to 1962.
The proposal would upgrade amenities throughout the stadium and create a 360-degree main concourse connecting the east and west sides. Capacity would be 80,000, including 20,000 new chairback seats.
Officials said the stadium would host concerts and other events year-round and annual stadium revenue would increase 40%, to an estimated $95 million.
Construction would begin after the 2026 football season.

Incremental stadium improvements have been made over the years, including luxury suites in 1999 and an expansion to more than 85,000 seats in 2013. A $450 million renovation was approved in 2023 but did not go forward because school leaders wanted to review the scope, strategy and costs.
