Nebraska Proposition 423, also known as the "Nebraska Stop Overspending Initiative", appeared on the November 2006 general election ballot in Nebraska, where it was defeated[1]
- Yes: 172,859 (29.8%)
- No: 406,419 (70.2%)
Impact
The initiative was one of three that appeared on the Nebraska general election ballot in November 2006. Had it passed, it would have created a new constitutional amendment in the Nebraska Constitution, that would have put a TABOR cap on the rate of future growth of the state government's budget.
Supporters and donations
Mike Groene was the chair of the Nebraska Stop Overspending Committee and was its representative to the media.
Opponents
The former city administrator of Norfolk, NE, Michael Nolan, was fined $1,000 for using his publicly funded e-mail address to send messages opposing the measures to Lynn Rex, executive director of the Nebraska League of Municipalities.[2]
