Today we hear that their may be another contender in the Omaha mayoral race come next spring. None other that Douglas County Treasurer John Ewing. That might explain why he seems to be on t.v. for so many different events.
By the way, were charges ever filed on the Haney/Ewing-gate check kiting scam that went undetected for about two years under Julie Haney and for about 9 months under Ewing? How you get away with $60,000 plus kite operation for that period of time under either treasurer seems incomprehensible. Why charges haven't been filed seems just as incomprehensible.

John Ewing will not run for mayor next spring. If anyone would have bothered to check, he doesn't even live in the city. Last time I checked, you have to live in Omaha to be mayor of Omaha. His area may be annexed. I don't know when. It does not matter. He has made a committment to his staff to run again. In five years, I expect him to run for mayor.
The first time that Carol Urbach tried her scam under John's and my watch, she got caught. She pulled it off several times under the previous administration, over two years. Considering at the time we took over (six months earlier) that there were virtually no acceptable accounting practices in place, it is remarkable that as soon as we implemented some security measures, we caught her. She was fired with NO appeal. Check with the Sheriff's Office for the status of the criminal case. We handled our duties.
