New Omaha mayor ousts safety and relations directors
Mayor Al Veys dismissed Public Safety Director Richard Roth and Human Relations Director A. B. Hogan while retaining most other department heads. Hogan criticized the move as politically motivated and charged Veys with a dubious record on human rights. Roth, a former Secret Service agent, said the job was political and indicated no hard feelings. Ruth Jackson and William McDonnell were appointed to lead the Human Relations and Fire Departments respectively, with Shafer to leave parks leadership due to health concerns. OMB functions will return to the finance department, with Robert Armstrong becoming a mayoral assistant to focus on grants.
