A PROJECT OF NEBRASKA TAXPAYERS FOR FREEDOM
Metropolitan area citizens face concerns about public safety, public works infrastructure maintenance, privatization of services, consolidation, merging and streamlining of county government, taxes, and unnecessary spending on services traditionally outside the scope of county responsibility.

Project participants will receive periodic newsletters, email bulletins, and research outlines and materials to act as watchdogs.
