BANNING Source-of-Income Discrimination | Lincoln for Fair Housing

Lincoln City General Election is tomorrow, May 6th! Check your polling place here: https://www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov/VoterView

In this episode, Dan dives into the ‘LNK for Fair Housing’ ballot initiative. On May 6, Lincoln voters will decide whether to outlaw source-of-income discrimination in city code. Currently, landlords can legally refuse prospective tenants based on how they plan to pay rent — including Section 8 housing vouchers, Social Security, veterans benefits, disability income, tips or cash wages, and informal employment. Dan speaks with Elizabeth Engman and Kasey Ogle of Collective Impact Lincoln, the group behind the initiative, to break down what’s at stake for voters.

Why Property Tax Relief Fails Without Consensus

Why Property Tax Relief Fails Without Consensus

Oct 10, 2026 |

Nebraska has spent decades debating property tax relief. So why hasn’t the Legislature found a lasting solution?

At a property tax roundtable hosted by gubernatorial candidate Lynne Walz, Nebraska Farmers Union president John Hansen, explains why good ideas aren’t enough. Any plan needs the political consensus to secure 33 votes in the Legislature.

The challenge isn’t just finding a solution. It’s finding enough agreement to make it law.
