Brand Committee director resigns, rehired for new post

nebraska-brand-committeeLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The executive director of a Nebraska agency that inspects cattle and investigates missing and stolen livestock has resigned, but will continue to work for the organization under a different title.

Shawn Harvey resigned Monday as the director of the Nebraska Brand Committee. His resignation follows a July 26 report from the Nebraska State Auditor’s Office questioned management practices of the committee and focused on actions by Harvey. The report accused him of using a state vehicle for personal trips and questioned other incidents.

While the committee’s board accepted Harvey’s resignation, it rehired him for the newly-created position of chief investigator and director of field operations for the same salary he had made as executive director: $72,000.
