From the Lincoln Journal Star:
Bruce Johnson, a retired professor from Lincoln, has been appointed to fill a vacancy on the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District Board.
Johnson, who taught in the department of agricultural economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for 39 years, will represent Subdistrict 5 in west Lincoln. The opening was created when the board vacated the seat held by Steve Larrick, who is teaching in China.
Johnson will serve the balance of the first half of Larrick’s four-year term, through December 2016. The seat will be up for election in the 2016 primary and general elections.
