A proper accounting of the services we provide and pay for with our taxes income/property should not be to much to ask.

What Is A Sanctuary City, And How Does It Differ From Other Types Of Jurisdictions in Nebraska?

A sanctuary city is a jurisdiction that limits its cooperation with the federal government’s effort to enforce immigration law. Sanctuary cities generally do not use municipal funds or resources to enforce federal immigration laws, and they often provide protections to undocumented immigrants that are not available in other jurisdictions. In Nebraska, specific cities have passed ordinances declaring themselves ‘sanctuary cities’, meaning they limit their cooperation with the federal government’s efforts to enforce immigration law. These cities are Omaha, Lincoln, and South Sioux City.

3. Property values: Studies have shown that neighborhoods with diverse populations tend to have higher property values, which can benefit homeowners and contribute to the local economy through increased property tax revenue.

5. Social services costs: Critics argue that Sanctuary City policies may strain social services and increase costs for public services such as healthcare and education. However, proponents argue that the overall economic benefits outweigh these potential costs.

Unless it your rent and property taxes spiraling out of control to pay the way for the undocumented that have never paid into the system and are not suppose to be here in the first place.

Undocumented immigrants in Nebraska are generally barred from receiving traditional federal public benefits like SNAP (food stamps), traditional Medicaid, and cash assistance (TANF). However, they are legally eligible for emergency, in-kind, and safety-net services that are necessary for life and safety

Specific local and state-level welfare sources available include:Healthcare: Under the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), all hospitals are required to provide life-saving care and emergency treatment, including emergency labor and delivery. Nebraska also has an Emergency Medical Services Assistance (EMSA) program covering these acute emergencies for non-qualified non-citizens.Nutrition Assistance: Undocumented individuals can rely on private charitable networks, including the Food Bank for the Heartland and the Food Bank of Lincoln, which generally do not require proof of legal status. Certain federally funded child nutrition programs, like WIC, are also available.Education & Childcare: Undocumented children have the right to attend K-12 public schools. Families may also access Head Start and Early Head Start, as these are not considered restricted federal public benefits.Legal and Social Support.

The funding for support services in Nebraska Sanctuary Cities has evolved significantly over the past decade. Here are some key points to consider:

1. Increased State and Local Support: In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of support services in Sanctuary Cities, leading to increased funding from both state and local governments. This includes funding for language translation services, legal aid, healthcare access, and mental health support for undocumented immigrants.

In Nebraska Sanctuary Cities, several initiatives are in place to address the healthcare needs of undocumented immigrants.
1. Undocumented immigrants can access free or low-cost health services through community health centers and clinics that do not require proof of citizenship or legal status.
2. Some Sanctuary Cities have established partnerships with local healthcare providers to offer discounted services to undocumented individuals.
3. Non-profit organizations and advocacy groups may provide assistance in connecting undocumented immigrants with healthcare resources and navigating the healthcare system.
4. In some cases, local governments have allocated funding to support healthcare programs specifically tailored to the needs of undocumented immigrants.
5. Outreach and education campaigns are often conducted to inform undocumented residents about available healthcare services and resources within the Sanctuary City.
Overall, these initiatives aim to ensure that undocumented immigrants have access to essential healthcare services despite their immigration status.

The politicians and elitist  take care of their own  only regular peoples property taxes have quadrupled.

Pay enormous salary to the people

To run the worst most expensive and inefficient utility in the state.

Completely unable to make a budget that balances spend your money like fools

and  work for the city and Cheat on their property taxes for over 10 years

the Mayor Goes on TV  acts like a clown and mocks the people that pay there way in life

“I would like to have no property tax increase ever, but I’m also realistic, and I’m watching the country with inflation and with eggs going through the roof. We can’t sit there and think that South Sioux City, Nebraska, is gonna sit here and be static and not have any increases,” Mayor Koch said. “Housing evaluations go up, we try to keep our levy down. But with evaluations going up, it’s going to go up. It just depends on how much it goes up. There will be some people not happy, and I’m one of them.”

Council will need to give preliminary approval.

And then, on September 23, there will be what’s called a “pink card” meeting at the South Sioux Fire Station, where the public can come in and ask questions to the city, the county, and the school about the budget and the tax increases.

Someone should tell them the city don’t run on eggs and inflation is 2.9%   only in the mind of an imbecile does that justify a 30 40 50 percent increases we pay year after year

That’s the mayor and city council   we have

Stop the swindle

Don’t reelect any of them

While they knew a 40 % valuation hike was coming , they are just a pack of liars and deceivers.

They don’t care how high they because they cheat.
