Johanns wants tax cuts, incentives
Republican Senate nominee Mike Johanns said permanent tax cuts and new incentives for small and medium-sized businesses will help strengthen the economy.
Johanns unveiled his economic plan Monday at appearances in Omaha, Columbus and Hastings.
“I have seen the toll high prices and a sluggish economy (is) taking on hard-working Nebraskans,” he said.
“We need to keep taxes low, lessen government interference and invest in our nation’s infrastructure.”
Johanns said he would support investment in rural development, research, technology and infrastructure with statewide access to broadband Internet service.
Training and educational opportunities need to be enhanced, he said.
“Small and medium-sized businesses need the ability to invest in their future growth and job creation, which is why I support allowing them to expense up to $200,000 of their capital investment annually, with a total cap of $800,000,” Johanns said.
“I have been clear in my support for making tax cuts for families and small businesses permanent,” he said.
Johanns received the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business this week.
