Retention Vote or Vendetta ?

A Kearney group is targeting three judges for removal when they go up for retention votes in the Nov. 6 election.

The Kearney Hub says the group is called The Do Good Dads Against Unjust Judges. The group wants voters to vote against the retention of County Court Judges Gerald Jorgensen and Graten Beavers and District Court Judge John Icenogle.

Organizer Jacob Sikes says the judges' "principles and morals just don't match up to what we believe here in central Nebraska."

Sikes says the campaign isn't a vendetta in reaction to a child custody ruling by Icenogle in a case involving Sikes earlier this year.

Icenogle spoke for himself and the other two judges and said all three are prohibited from commenting on the campaign to unseat them.
