Remaining in place against Wonch Hill is a charge that she put stickers on Sen. Deb Fischer’s office door in Lincoln. The UNL faculty member has denied that she did that.

Fortenberry said through a spokesman Monday: “I think the point is made. This never was about a silly sign. It’s about whether a university educator can vandalize our community with impunity.”

Wonch Hill said Monday evening in a text that she wondered if the police who worked the case knew that Fortenberry sought “just to ‘make a point’ and not follow through on any charges.”

She added: “Fortenberry seems to believe his bruised ego is what his community should spend public resources on — this would be troubling if he were a private citizen, but it is absolutely unacceptable for an elected official to abuse public resources in this way.”

The Fischer stickers case was delayed, with the exception of the testimony of one witness, until a hearing set for Nov. 1.

Former Fischer campaign manager Allison Bedell testified Monday that someone had placed two “Betsy Riot” stickers on Fischer’s office door in Lincoln last October. Someone also taped to the door a sign that suggested that Fischer loves rapists.
