Nebraska: Wayne County Commissioner recall stopped by judge

A November 20 recall scheduled against Wayne County Commissioner Kelvin Wurdeman has been stopped by a judge, as the petitions did not state whether the petitioners were volunteer or paid.

The judge held that the failure to include that language was “not a technical omission” but was a “material and substantial defect in the recall petitions involving the plaintiff.”

In the recall petition that was circulated, Hammer accused Wurdeman of removing dirt from one landowner and moving it “to another piece of property without talking to the landowner and getting permission.”
