IIVTERURBAIV EL PASO - A former state of education member said Tuesday cast their ballots for dates to the now-defunct even though they are not for office. Wayne Windle, a former board candidate before the was dismantled, said he voted tee last week and laughed whe: saw his own name on the ballot. “On page four, printed in black letters under the heading, ‘State Board of Education, 16tl trict,’ was my name,” he said, I’m not running for anything." Windle said he voted for hi Alex turer, 1 tance o; Educati Rudder the MS' tee, the Racial A Ticke for non 'hr mm Nebraska utility seeks dismissal of judgment United Press International OMAHA — The Nebraska Public Power District is asking an appeals court to throw out or reduce a $14 million judgment against the utility that resulted from a lawsuit over construction delays and cost over runs at an NPPD plant. Jim DeMars, a Lincoln attorney who represented NPPD in the law suit, said the appeal was filed with the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis. NPPD had sued National Indus trial Constructors Inc. and its parent firm, Austin Industries Inc., both of Dallas, for $70 million because of- cost overruns and construction de lays in the building of NPPD’s coal- fired Gentleman Station Unit No. 1 near Sutherland. The two firms sought $31 million in a counterclaim against NPPD, contending the overruns and delays occurred because the utility failed to provide blueprint and other materi als on time. In August, after the longest fed eral court trial in Nebraska history, a jury in Lincoln awarded NPPD a $ 12 million judgment against Austin In dustries. But the jury also awarded a $26 million judgment against NPPD, leaving a difference of $ 14 million. In the appeal, DeMars said, NPPD contends some evidence at the trial should not have been introduced under Nebraska law. The appeal also says there was insufficient evi dence to support the judgment the jury derived, DeMars said. If the appeals panel does not throw out or reduce the judgment against NPPD, DeMars said, the util ity probably will seek a new trial. U.S. District Judge Warren Ur- bom previously denied post-trial motions that NPPD and Austin In dustries had filed in federal court in Lincoln for a new trial. Dave McClung, Austin Industries senior vice president of administra tion, said Monday his firm also would appeal. McClung said his firm was satisi- fied with the jury’s decision but would appeal to protect its $26 mil lion judgment.
