LINCOLN- The Nebraska Public Service Commission issued the ruling that found the Nebraska Republican Party and Kansas City- based Remington Research liable for making illegal robocalls. The calls were meant to help Senator Julie Slama of Peru against her opponent Janet Palmtag. Both women are Republicans and have key endorsements. Palmtag said this is the largest fines the state has placed on automatic dialers.
Palmtag also threatened legal action against the NEGOP for mailers that were sent out saying she had lost her real estate license. Palmtag's attorney says the Republican Party intentionally and maliciously mailed the publications. Palmtag's team is demanding corrections and wants to hold the party liable for financial damage.
