 White, a native of Columbus, Nebraska, introduced an innovative bill to deal with the challenges of education funding in small-town Nebraska.His proposal, the Business Partnership in Rural Education Program, would have allow companies that have earned business tax credits to use some of those credits to help local school systems.The companies would be able to contribute up to $10 million in tax credits to local school districts over a four-year period, and would have to provide a 75 percent match under the bill.
