Mayor Suttle Recall Committee

The Mayor Suttle Recall Committee turned in petition signatures last month, citing excessive taxes, broken promises and union deals that cost taxpayers millions as reasons for the effort to oust Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle. The group's leaders include members of the real estate and restaurant industries which are being affected by tax increases Suttle and the City Council approved last summer.
