Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the service of newly- appointed Nebraska State Treasurer Tom Briese. For almost 7 years, Tom honorably served the people of District 41 in the unicameral. I sat next to him on our State's revenue committee. During those years, he fought hard to reform the State's high property taxes and school funding formula. Over the course of time in the legislature, he worked with both Governor Ricketts and Governor Pillen to deliver historic tax relief. Earlier this year, Governor Pillen announced that he would appoint Senator Briese to fill a vacancy in the role of State treasurer. Tom brings with him a wealth of experience in working with the legislature and State senators to shape public policy. He leads an office that manages the State's college savings plan and unclaimed property programs while watching over the State's resources. I know Tom will do an outstanding job in his new role and I wish him all the best as he takes on this new challenge. Mr. Speaker, I wish the treasurer best wishes in the years ahead.
