Nebraska's top officials rejected a 40% pay raise amid budget cuts and wildfires.
Nebraska’s top three constitutional officers—Lt.
Gov.
Joe Kelly, State Treasurer Joey Spellerberg, and Secretary of State Bob Evnen—have rejected a proposed 40% pay raise amid a $600 million budget shortfall and widespread wildfires that burned over 750,000 acres.
They cited fiscal responsibility, ongoing emergencies, and the need to protect taxpayers as reasons for their decision, urging lawmakers to prioritize essential services.
The pay raise proposal, part of AM 2640, remains pending as legislators work to balance the 2025-27 budget by March 25, considering a $130 million transfer from the rainy day fund and cuts to programs like the cultural endowment and legislative travel reimbursements.
Firefighting efforts continue across multiple major fires.
