LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Cattle inspectors criticized in a state audit for being paid for work they didn't do aren't getting any help from Attorney General Jon Bruning.
In a legal opinion, Bruning backs up reasons that state Auditor Mike Foley cited when he concluded in June that the Nebraska Brand Committee paid inspectors more than $170,000 for more than 10,000 hours of work they never performed.
Brand officials have said that since their inspectors are always on call, they shouldn't be expected to work 40-hour weeks. But Bruning says in the opinion requested by the brand committee that inspectors are required to work 40-hour workweeks under state law and that being on call is not considered labor.
