PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — A judge has granted a temporary injunction to keep the Sarpy County Board from naming a new county treasurer while a lawsuit filed by the ousted former treasurer proceeds.
Television station WOWT reports that District Judge Geoffrey Hall issued a temporary injunction this week in the lawsuit of Brian Zuger, who was voted out of his elected office by the county board in April.
The vote followed a state auditor's report earlier this year citing missteps by Zuger’s office that caused Millard Public Schools to miss out on a nearly $2.4 million tax payment, while Bellevue’s school district was overpaid by $2.3 million.
Zuger has defended his work, saying his office had been trying to correct yearslong problems.
