News outlets are welcome to use the footage for their reporting purposes. The full text of the speech is below.\n\nI rise today to highlight the success of Governor Jim Pillen in Nebraska to help reduce property and income taxes while expanding educational opportunities across our state.\n\nLess than a year ago, Pillen took office as Nebraska experienced historic levels of tax revenues.\n\nHis first budget poured billions into property tax relief, helping to alleviate Nebraska\u2019s high property taxes.\n\nHe cut income taxes and sped up the total repeal of Social Security taxes.\n\nHe also increased the amount of funding the state provides for special education and created an Education Future Fund, which committed $1 billion to help Nebraska\u2019s schools.\n\nAlong the way, he made history by bringing school choice to Nebraska by establishing a scholarship tax credit to help families access more educational opportunities.\n\nThis is really just a snapshot of what Governor Pillen has accomplished in less than 12 months, and there\u2019s more to come.\n\nKeep up the great work, Governor Pillen!", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://flood.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-flood-highlights-governor-pillens-success-tax-relief-educational"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8298498578369617, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
