               GOVERNOR PILLEN'S GREAT WORK FOR NEBRASKA

  (Mr. FLOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FLOOD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to highlight the success of 
Governor Jim Pillen in Nebraska to help reduce property and income 
taxes while expanding educational opportunities across our State.
  Less than a year ago, Governor Pillen took office as Nebraska 
experienced historic levels of tax revenue. His first budget poured 
billions of dollars into property tax relief, helping alleviate 
Nebraska's high property taxes.
  He cut income taxes and sped up the total repeal of Social Security 
taxes. He also increased the amount of funding the State provides for 
special education and created an education future fund which committed 
$1 billion to help Nebraska's schools.
  Along the way, he made history by bringing school choice to Nebraska 
by establishing a scholarship tax credit to help families access more 
educational opportunities.
  This is really just a snapshot of what Governor Pillen had 
accomplished in less than 12 months, and there is more to come.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Governor Pillen on his great work.
