Stothert\u2019s broken promises and failed leadership are also on full display with HDR announcing they will not build their multi-million headquarters in downtown Omaha.<br \/>\n\u201cJean Stothert broke her promise of ending the restaurant tax \u2013 and even worse, is now expanding the tax to even more food vendors. Given her record, it\u2019s no wonder Mayor Stothert can&#8217;t keep businesses downtown,&#8221; said NDP Chair-Elect Jane Kleeb. &#8220;Republican Stothert\u2019s failed leadership was made\u00a0clear and obvious once again\u00a0with\u00a0HDR\u2019s announcement they will be taking their dollars away from the small businesses that are the heartbeat of our downtown. It\u2019s time for Omaha to declare independence from all the broken promises of Republican Stothert.\u201d<br \/>\nDemocratic Councilmen Ben Gray, Chris Jerram, and Garry Gernandt helped lead Omaha out of a fiscal calamity through supporting the restaurant tax, which brings almost $30 million dollars into the City of Omaha\u2019s annual budget. Republican Jean Stothert may try to take credit for the now $10.8 million in surplus, but the only reason the surplus even exists is because of the restaurant tax she campaigned to end.<br \/>\n\u201cMayor Stothert should simply tell Omahans she lied about repealing the restaurant tax just to get elected,\u201d said Kleeb. \u201cWe look forward to her explanation on why she keeps sending businesses outside of the vibrant and creative downtown Omaha.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further Background:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"last\">Food trucks level playing field on restaurant tax that brings surplus to Omaha, a tax Stothert said she would end.
