Omaha Mayor observing health after suffering stroke

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle says he’s ready to get back to work after suffering a mild stroke.

The 68-year-old mayor told reporters on Thursday that he was given a clean bill of health by his doctors, but he’ll cut back on his schedule and pay more attention to his diet and exercise.

Suttle was discharged from an Omaha hospital on Wednesday. He was admitted on Monday after returning to Nebraska from an economic tour of Europe. He was hospitalized last week in Ireland.

Suttle says he plans to be at City Hall on Monday.
