Nebraska: Kimball Mayor recall appears to collapse

City Council President Kim Bailman has resigned, as the recall effort against Kimball Mayor Keith Prunty appears to have collapsed. The issue appeared to be the hiring of a new city administrator. 

One of the petitioners was a daughter of City Council member Kim Bailman.

One petitioner who (asked to have her name removed, Ashley Sisk, is the wife of Carson Sisk, who was passed over in the appointment process. Prunty's pick, the city clerk Annette Brower, was voted down 3-1 by the city council over questions about her role in the review process.

Petitioners need 292 signatures. Prunty is on his second term.
