Question: Does Washington's economic stimulus package affect me if I live in a moderately-priced state such as Nebraska? Answer: Yes. First, you will be entitled to a check in May ranging from $300 to $1,200. Those checks will go further in areas with less expensive homes and other costs. Second, like the rest of the country you will face higher future taxes because the entire $168 billion cost of the stimulus package is being borrowed.
