Platte Institute for Economic Research

Protecting Nebraska taxpayers - taxes are inveitable in our society, but not all tax policies are created equal. The Platte Institute advocates for tax reforms that create a simple, sustainable tax structure that supports Economic growth. We've helped to defeat major tax increases while advancing legislation reducing income, property and inheritance taxes to name a few making Nebraska a more welcoming place to earn a paycheck, own property, run a business, or retire.

Government efficiency and transparency - we're giving nebraskans tools and resources to help them keep an eye on how policymakers manage their tax dollars and decide policies that impact Economic opportunity.

Building Nebraska's workforce and reducing regulations - the Platte Institute is empowering nebraskans to identify and combat excessive regulations, creating more opportunities for jobseekers and entrepreneurs, and enabling new innovative businesses to enter the marketplace.

Promoting education freedom - the Platte Institute champions policies that eliminate education barriers so Nebraska families have the opportunites that best serve them, not the education establishment.
