Nebraska activist plans 15-petition ballot campaign for 2028

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 20:02 · Archive

Eric Underwood is preparing to launch 15 petitions for Nebraska's 2028 ballot under the 'Make Nebraska Even Better' banner.

Eric Underwood has spent a week to ten days finalizing his first proposal before announcing it last month: the 'Harvest Fuel Tax Holiday', which would suspend Nebraska's fuel tax for two months each year, targeting the period of harvest and school activities.

The proposal aims to extend relief to all drivers in the state between September 1 and October 31. It would also cap the maximum state fuel tax at 35 cents per gallon in perpetuity. The current state tax sits at 31.8 cents, though Underwood expects efforts to increase it.

This fuel tax proposal is just the opening of a larger effort. Underwood has assembled a network of 15 petitions united under the banner 'Make Nebraska Even Better'. The full petition effort covers relief and reform across multiple areas including property taxes, local unfunded mandates, education and election administration. The petitions are aimed at Nebraska's 2028 ballot.
