LINCOLN — Gov. Pete Ricketts rejected calls for the resignation of the state auditor on Monday, saying if he had a direct employee who was taking three-hour lunches at a sports bar during work hours, like State Auditor Charlie Janssen, he would "counsel them" rather than fire them.
"That's what progressive discipline is all about," said Ricketts, in his first extensive comments on The World-Herald's investigation of the auditor's work habits.
"We would have asked them to make changes, similar to what Charlie has promised to make, and would have gone from there," the governor said.
"What really matters is whether the person going to change their behavior," Ricketts added.

More great thoughts from Gov. Pete Rickets.
His comment doesn't make anyone respect Charlie Johnson more, it makes people respect himself, the Gov., far less than any time in the past. It makes some of us think they both should go as soon as possible.
State Auditor Charlie Janssen
State Auditor Charlie Janssen's office, the Brewsky's Food and Spirits. Time to get right over there to
thank him for the fine job he's doing for Nebraska taxpayers and their loved ones.
Does he have a reserved parking spot?
