Nebraska troopers union to delay formal complaint over radio system

LINCOLN — The union that represents Nebraska state troopers agreed Tuesday to postpone its formal complaint about the state's troubled emergency radio system in an attempt to informally work out a solution with the state.
A representative of the State Troopers Association of Nebraska (STAN) said that troopers still lack confidence in the $17.3 million system but are willing to explore if it can be fixed and not replaced.
“We don't have any confidence in it at all,” said Gary Young, a Lincoln attorney representing the union. “We may be persuaded ... we're willing to listen.”
The agreement, which puts the formal grievance on hold for 90 days, is the latest development in a story first reported by The World-Herald in December.
