Letter: Geist working hard for Lincoln

Sen. Suzanne Geist is working for Lincoln within the Legislature. She launched LB165 to permit households who’ve saved for training in a Nebraska 529 NEST account to have entry to their cash for Ok-12 training, similar to 40 different states do. It’ll maintain Nebraska on the leaderboard for progress in school financial savings plans in addition to afford households some a lot wanted spending flexibility.

Who is aware of what is going to find yourself occurring with laws this session but it surely’s commonsense regulation updates like this that may maintain all of us shifting ahead.

Geist has been a long-time supporter of public security, standing with our police, firefighters, paramedics and different first responders. This 12 months her precedence invoice is Lincoln Sen. Eliot Bostar’s LB447, which is able to present tax credit for retired skilled firefighters for medical insurance premiums and set up a tuition waiver to any state school, college or neighborhood school for dependents of a full-time skilled firefighter or regulation enforcement officer, so long as they continue to be a resident of Nebraska for 5 years after the waiver interval.

That is nice for Lincoln. We should always all let the Legislature know that Sen.  Geist’s precedence invoice is a precedence for Lincoln.
