Lincoln - The Nebraska Public Service Commission voted (3-2) to censure Commissioner Christian Mirch and Commissioner Kevin Stocker. The vote followed a closed session.
Commission Chair Dan Watermeier said, “The Commission will not condone the conduct that led us to today’s decision to censure these two Commissioners. We shouldn’t need a code of conduct to tell us that as elected officials we are accountable for our actions. It is my expectation that by voting to censure, we are sending the message that as Commissioners we hold ourselves to the highest of standards and will not tolerate this kind of behavior.”
The vote to censure Commissioners Mirch and Stocker follows an independent investigation into allegations of misconduct.
