Senators introduced proposals on subjects ranging from early childhood education to early release from prison, as the Nebraska Legislature wrapped up the process of introducing new bills Wednesday.
An early childhood education proposal came in a bill by Sen. Tony Vargas. Vargas wants to impose a 4 percent surtax on the income of single people making more than $500,000 a year or couples with incomes over $1 million. He would use that money to fund grants for early childhood education in schools, a field he says is currently underpaid and underfunded.
