Nebraska: Recall against Omaha Mayor abandoned

The recall effort against Omaha Mayor Jean Stohert (R) has been abandoned due to cost and difficulty recruiting volunteers. The recall was over complaints about her dealings with critic, and problems with the trash contract and potholes. Petitioners would have needed 34,818 signatures in 30 days.

Stothert won office in 2013 beating Jim Suttle, who himself barely beat back a recall effort in 2011.
