TRENTON, Neb. (AP) — Hitchcock County commissioners have named a temporary replacement for the recalled county assessor.

Pat Albro was appointed Monday to replace Marlene Bedore, who was recalled Nov. 8.

Commissioners and property owners had questioned Bedore’s assessment methods since she started the job in January 2015, after her election in November 2014. The Nebraska Department of Revenue investigated and reported that there was a pattern to suggest that properties had been adjusted with a bias, that Bedore played favorites as she raised and lowered property valuations.

In her response to the recall petition, Bedore said she followed state laws and said valuations changed in conjunction with market values.
