LINCOLN- A complaint has been filed by a Lincoln attorney against Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner for not reporting the benefactor of his legal challenge against the medical marijuana petition drive last year. Nebraska Families for Medical Cannabis asked the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission to review whether or not state law has been broken by not disclosing who paid for the legal fees of the challenge.
