Nebraska Supreme Court

1Opinion of the CourtStephan, J.
This case presents an issue of law as to whether a 1995 amendment to the Douglas County Employees’ Retirement Plan resulted in a reduction in benefits which, pursuant to the plan, could be accomplished only with the approval of the electorate. The district court for Douglas County resolved this question in the affirmative and ordered that the amendment be stricken and set aside because it had not been submitted to and approved by the voters of Douglas County. Upon consideration of the appeal by Douglas County (County) from this order, we find no error and affirm.
