Today, Governor Jim Pillen accepted the immediate resignation of Department of Economic Development (DED) Director Tony Goins.
His departure comes a few days after a Nebraska Examiner article that detailed instances where Goins used state email to invite people to a political campaign event at a cigar lounge he is part owner of. The Examiner also reported that the lounge also received two COVID-19 grants from the Department of Economic Development.
The Governor’s office is expected to release details on future leadership for the Department of Economic Development.
