(Sarpy County, NE) Sarpy County is considering removing the County Treasurer from office.
Last week, the Sarpy County Board of Commissioners asked Sarpy County Treasurer Brian Zuger to resign from office. The county says the request came from Board Chairman Don Kelly after the Board reviewed a draft report of the Nebraska Auditor of Public Accounts’ attestation of the Treasurer’s Office. The county says Zuger declined to resign.
The county says the Board will now consider a resolution at Tuesday’s Board meeting to initiate legal proceedings to remove the Treasurer from office. “We are deeply concerned about the State Auditor s findings, and our primary objective is to ensure Sarpy County is a good steward of the taxpayers’ money,” Kelly said.
