(Omaha, NE) -- A recent effort to recall Omaha City Councilman Vinny Palermo has failed. The Douglas County Election Commission says the group behind the effort didn't present the necessary 2,500 signatures on Monday. Palermo is one of four men facing charges in a fraud scheme involving the Latino Peace Officer's Association and Omaha’s Police Athletics for Community Engagement program (PACE). The other three are police officers Johnny Palermo and Rich Gonzalez and fundraiser Jack Olson. All four are pleading not guilty.
