Nebraska Democratic Party Statement on Councilman Vinny Palmero
LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issued the following response to Councilman Palermo’s indictment and vote of the Omaha City Council:
“The Democratic Party believes voters deserve elected officials that are focused on the concerns of the community. We thank Council President Festersen and the majority of council members for acting quickly to remove Palmero from his leadership and committee assignments. It is our hope and expectation that Councilman Vinny Palermo will resign so the Council can take the next steps in appointing a qualified Nebraskan to represent District 4. Whether it is Trump, Fortenberry, or now Palermo, indicted elected officials and politicians should focus on their legal issues and either resign or not run for re-election.”
