Get The Facts: Six bond issues on the ballot in Omaha this year
OMAHA, Neb. — When Omaha voters look over their ballots this election, six sections will ask whether to approve bonds for the city.
The six bond issues are worth $333.4 million total, none of which will raise taxes —according to city officials and the Greater Omaha Chamber's CEO Heath Mello.
"The city has the money in the existing city budget to pay for these bonds, which is why there's no property tax increase associated with them."
The ballot questions will state that voter approval of the bonds will not raise the property tax levy. If passed, the City will have the authority to issue bonds through 2032.
