LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 14, 2016—Bob Hallstrom, Nebraska state director for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), issued the following comment today, after Gov. Pete Ricketts presented his annual State of the State address.
“The small-business owners of NFIB appreciate the continuing commitment of Gov. Ricketts to provide property tax relief and to manage the state budget by controlling spending. His efforts to find cost-reductions in every agency and department and his call to make state government ‘customer-focused’ are also music to the ears of Main Street entrepreneurs who know better than anyone the difficulties in regulatory compliance. ”
The National Federation of Independent Business is America’s largest and leading small-business association with 350,000 dues-paying members across the nation, including nearly 5,000 in Nebraska. Follow us on Twitter, @NFIB_NE, and join us for Small Business Day at the Capitol on February 19.

NFIB’s educational mission is to remind policymakers that small businesses are not smaller versions of bigger businesses; they have very different challenges and priorities.
