Heading: sufficiency of commission's findings of fact

Text: NLD cites Neb.Rev.Stat. § 84-915 (Reissue 1999) for the proposition that the Commission's decision must be in writing or stated in the record and shall be accompanied by findings of fact and conclusions of law. NLD alleges that the statement in the record at the Commission hearing falls short of this standard. However, the Commission's written decision clearly meets the standard set forth in § 84-915, whether or not the statement in the record does. In fact, NLD does not allege that the decision in writing lacks the required elements, but, rather, alleges only that it is inconsistent with the statement in the record. Whether or not such an inconsistency exists is immaterial; the written findings of fact and conclusions of law made by the Commission are valid and binding. Section 84-915 requires merely that the writing or the statement in the record contain the findings of fact and conclusions of law. Indeed, the written decision does, and thus, this assignment of error is without merit.
