Attorney General Doug Peterson says important lessons for all Nebraska nonprofits are embedded in the investigation of Goodwill Omaha.

Peterson says nonprofits need to learn from the financial abuses uncovered in the investigation.

Peterson says Goodwill Omaha lost sight of its mission, leading to excessive pay for top executives and declining services for the disabled.

Peterson says current state law prevents his office from going after the former president.

Peterson says he is pleased with the changes made by Goodwill Omaha to address the issues raised by the report.
