Nebraska Library Commission hears from public over controversial new appointment
At a Nebraska Library Commission meeting on Friday, citizens expressed concerns over Gov. Jim Pillen’s appointment of Terri Cunningham-Swanson to the commission.
Cunningham-Swanson was ousted from the Plattsmouth Board of Education earlier this year, with those in favor of her removal claiming she cost taxpayers thousands in legal fees and made efforts to ban more than 50 books from libraries in Plattsmouth.
During public comment on Friday, many speakers shared the same notions, including Cunningham-Swanson’s son, D’Shawn Le’Vell.
“I personally think the appointment of my mother reeks of corruption on the part of Governor Pillen,” he said. “My mother is massively unqualified to be in this position.”
