Ewing v. Stothert: Tax-Increment Financing (TIF) | Omaha Mayor Race 2025

Omaha City General Election is Tuesday, May 13th! Check your polling place here: https://www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov/VoterView

During the campaign season, we interviewed all the candidates for the Omaha City Mayoral race, including the two who advanced through the April primary election: Incumbent Jean Stothert (R) and Douglas County Treasurer John Ewing Jr. (D). We partnered with Flatwater Free Press and Civic Nebraska on their Voter Guide for the Omaha City Election and shared those interviews with them for wider publication. The Voter Guide can more accessed https://voterguide.flatwaterfreepress.org/

Dan asked both Mayor Stothert and John Ewing about the city’s use of tax increment financing — or TIF — a development tool that’s drawn some heat lately, both locally and at the state level. If elected, how would they approach it? Would they keep it as is, or push for changes? Here are their answers.

Nebraska Lawmaker BLOCKED From Visiting ICE Prison in McCook | Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh

Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh joins the show to discuss being twice denied entry to the ICE detention facility in McCook… despite state law granting legislators access to correctional facilities at any time. Cavanaugh outlines what happened during her attempted visit, why she believes the governor’s administration is obstructing legislative oversight, and what this means for transparency, detainee treatment, and the separation of powers in Nebraska government. She also weighs in on the fate of the former work ethic camp, prison overcrowding, and the growing tension between the legislature and the Pillen administration ahead of a difficult budget session.
