LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska lawmakers are floating new ideas to reduce property taxes as the 2015 session gets underway.

Senators and Gov. Pete Ricketts say cutting property taxes is a top priority, along with overhauling the prison system and setting money aside for rural bridges.

Sen. Mike Gloor of Grand Island, chairman of the Revenue Committee, says options should be clearer as lawmakers write a new two-year budget.

Sen. Paul Schumacher of Columbus says it’s unlikely the state or local governments will dramatically cut spending, but he proposed two measures that could offset the property tax burden for ranchers, farmers and homeowners.

Sen. Al Davis of Hyannis says he’ll unveil a plan Tuesday that would lower the percentage of agricultural land school districts can tax, while providing additional state money for schools.
