FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PSC ISSUES STATEMENT ON CENSURE VOTE
Lincoln, October 3, 2023- On Tuesday, October 3, 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.
