Published January 4, 2014 5:00am ET



LINCOLN, Neb. — Gov. Dave Heineman is preparing a “united front” of Nebraska business and farm groups to push for a multiyear tax reduction package after a new legislative session begins on Wednesday.

The Republican governor said he will focus this year on reducing property taxes for farmers and personal income taxes for families making between $60,000 and $120,000 a year. Without giving specifics, Heineman said the plan would include “hundreds of millions of dollars” in tax relief phased in over several years.
