Omaha Skyline Mix-Up and Fiscal Wins | Omaha News

When Douglas County’s Treasurer’s Office accidentally posted a non-Omaha skyline on its website—prompting viral mockery and “Faux-maha” memes—the real story was getting lost. Treasurer Tim Cavanaugh clarified it was just a darkened stock photo, not AI-generated, and admitted the office had been using outdated social media assets from a now-defunct vendor. While the gaffes dominated headlines, Cavanaugh highlighted his team’s real wins: returning over $100K to taxpayers and pushing for fiscal accountability. After local press nudged them, they replaced the skyline with a photo of their actual offices—the Thomas Fitzgerald Home. Cavanaugh, who’s stepping down in January to run for the Metropolitan Utilities District Board, lamented that the photos stole attention from his office’s serious work—and Tony Vargas is set to take over unopposed.
