Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert has vetoed an ordinance that would have imposed a $50 fine on drivers for parking in their yards. Mayor Stothert cited potential confusion and unanswered questions as reasons for her opposition. The proposal, passed earlier this month by lawmakers, aimed to address concerns about vehicles parked on grass, but Stothert believes the ordinance needs revisions.
