As a member of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee, Senator Nordquist spends much of his time reviewing, tracking, and assessing state spending. In recent years, a difficult economic climate added to the Legislature's challenge of finding and cutting government waste while ensuring that state assistance still is available to Nebraskans who need it.
During his time in the Legislature, Senator Nordquist has worked to pass a balanced budget that contained no tax increases or new taxes. The end result of the Legislature's efforts is a responsible budget that maintains funding for essential programs while holding state spending growth to sustainable levels.
