I worked with Phatt, I know his leanings, and really trust him.

SCS voting guide via Phatt

FOR AUDITOR OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS

Mike Foley REPUBLICAN
Kate Witek DEMOCRAT By most accounts (aside from Heinemen’s) Witek’s been a good auditor. I like that she’s been pushing for comprehensive performance audits. Heinemen threw a chair in her office once. The fact that she’s really quite conservative doesn’t actually bother me. Unless she becomes governor in 4 or 8 years. And never, in a million year’s would I have expected this.
Kelly Renee Rosberg NEBRASKA
Steve Larrick GREEN I like voting for Greens, but not this time.

FOR PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER
DISTRICT ONE
Vote for ONE
Frank Landis REPUBLICAN I like Frank. I’ve had drinks with him and he’s Dave’s brother. I suspect that he doesn’t want to regulate cell phones much
Charlie Matulka DEMOCRAT I really like Charlie. He’s a decent guy who is way smarter than he let’s on. Charlie, I suspect would regulate cell phones more and lobby for lighting up LES’s dark fiber (he would have some say in this.
Frank will likely win this pretty big.

FOR COUNTY CLERK
Vote for ONE

Patricia A. Owen REPUBLICAN
Dan Nolte DEMOCRAT X marks the spot.

FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR -REGISTER OF DEEDS
Vote for ONE

Norman H. Agena REPUBLICAN I don’t own a house, but I’m not convinced that this office has been run too well. I don’t like the formula used. it’s a tough call.
Patrick Faden BY PETITION I don’t know this guy.
They’re both Republicans and really, it won’t likely matter. Agena will win.

FOR PUBLIC DEFENDER
Vote for ONE
Dennis R. Keefe DEMOCRAT X marks the spot.

County Commisioner

I can’t vote for any of them. There are no Democrats running and the Republicans running are all awful. I was going to say “especially Workman” but Deb Shorr is pretty bad, too. They’re all pretty bad in some manner.

FOR MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE
DISTRICT TWENTY-SIX

I can’t say anything about legislative races, as both my jobs make anything I say publically problematic. If any of you have any questions I can explain in private. PM me.

FOR MEMBER OF THE STATE BOARD
OF EDUCATION
DISTRICT FIVE
Vote for ONE

Patricia H. Timm
Alan Jacobsen X marks the spot. He’s a Democrat.

FOR DIRECTOR
LOWER PLATTE SOUTH
NATURAL RESOURCES DISTRICT
Subdistrict Five
Vote for ONE
Steve Larrick If he had an opponent (D or R), I’d still for for Steve. He’s a green.

FOR DIRECTOR
LOWER PLATTE SOUTH
NATURAL RESOURCES DISTRICT
Subdistrict Nine
Vote for ONE
Robert C. Andersen
Micah R. Kohles X Marks the spot.

FOR DIRECTOR
LOWER PLATTE SOUTH
NATURAL RESOURCES DISTRICT
Subdistrict Ten
Vote for ONE
Brennen Miller X marks the spot.
Jason Hayes

FOR DIRECTOR
LOWER PLATTE SOUTH
NATURAL RESOURCES DISTRICT
At Large
Vote for ONE
Terry Kubicek
David M. Landis X marks the spot (Duh!).

Amendment 1: Help for nonprofit groups

The amendment would allow local government to use tax-exempt bonds to finance buildings that would then be leased or purchased by a nonprofit organization. This would allow local nonprofit agencies to take advantage of the lower interest rate of government tax-exempt bonds.

Proposed by Dave Landis. That’s all the endorsement I need.

Amendment 2: Help for Lincoln’s Community Health Endowment Fund

This amendment would allow greater diversity in investing city public endowment funds and is intended to help Lincoln’s Community Health Endowment Fund.
Proposed by Chris Beutler. That’s all the endorsement I need.

Amendment 3: Compulsive gambling programs

This amendment would increase lottery funding to the Compulsive Gambler’s Assistance Fund from $500,000 to $1 million.

Sure.

Amendment 4: Probation and Parole

The amendment would make it easier for two agencies to work together. Now, probation employees, who work with people sentenced to specific probation requirements rather than being sent to prison or jail fall under the state court system and the judicial branch of government.

This was proposed by Kermit Brashear. I haven’t agreed with Brashear much. I think, though, this looks like a good idea. And when it comes to nuts and bolts governmental procedures, Brashear is no slouch.

Amendment 5: Early childhood education

This amendment would allow the state to use the interest from $40 million in state funds for grants to early childhood education programs. The state money would be combined with at least $20 million in private donations to create an early childhood education endowment fund.

The $40 million in state money is part of the perpetual fund for schools and the interest is divided among all public schools, based on student population.

Susan and Peter Buffett will provide at least $5 million to jumpstart the private donations for this public-private partnership.

This just seems like a great idea pretty much automatically. The fact The Western Nebraska Taxpayers Association opposes this amendment, pretty much seals the deal. Those people are nuts.

Amendment 6: Changing TIF requirements

This amendment would remove the requirement that property be substandard and blighted to qualify for special property tax financing. It would also expand the definition of what would qualify for TIF to include development, in addition to rehabilitating and redeveloping.

Again, this just makes sense on its face. Matt Connealy supports it, too. I’ve had issues with him. But when it comes to rural redevelopment in Nebraska, there are few people I trust more.

This link explains this Amendments well.

Initiative Measure 421
A vote “FOR” will amend the Nebraska
County and City Lottery Act to authorize
the use of video keno gaming devices.

If you like the idea of machines like those stupid video games on bars showing up more and then mix that with pickle cards, in more bars…

I hate those stupid video games on bars. My libertarian side says yes. My aesthete side says no.

Referendum ordered by Petition of the
People
Referendum Measure 422
A vote to “Retain” will retain Legislative
Bill 126 enacted in 2005 by the First
Session of the Ninety-Ninth Nebraska
Legislature, and that bill will (1) dissolve all
Class I school districts and repeal the
statutes dealing with their formation; (2)
attach Class I school districts to Class
II,III, IV and VI school districts; (3)
distribute Class I territory, assets and
liabilities (except for bonded
indebtedness); (4) prevent elementary
attendance centers for all school districts
including former Class I districts from
being closed under certain circumstances;
(5) provide for certain student
transportation requirements; and (6)
provide for aid to schools for transition
and elementary improvement.

Pretty complicated looking huh? Well, it is pretty complicated. Class 1 schools and their elimination causes a lot of people to get very upset. I don’t quite understand all of this. But if Ron Raikes and Kate Witek are on the same page of this, well… Really, it comes down to money. consolidating Class 1 school districts into larger districts will likely save a lot of money that the state spends on education. The one room schoolhouse seems nice, but it’s 2006. Vote to retain.

Proposed by Initiative Petition
Initiative Measure 423
A vote “FOR” will amend the Nebraska
Constitution to impose a state spending
limit based upon a calculation involving
previous appropriations, the inflation rate
and population change in Nebraska.
A vote “AGAINST” will not amend the
Nebraska Constitution to impose such a
state spending limit.

This is easily one of the worst pieces of legislation ever proposed in Nebraska history. I tried to post a long description as to why I think this and something ate it. Suffice to say, if you want publically funded school programs you should vote against this. This could really mess up the states budget. It’s awful and is not even inspired by a popular Nebraskan movement. It’s inspired by a guy who doesn’t live in Nebraska and could spend money to hire people to get signatures. It’s truly awful.

    Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at kettlecrestcraftcollective kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.

  • Doriangat · 06/26/2026 at 8:48 PM

    Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at jadkix continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.

  • Phillipcreft · 06/26/2026 at 8:52 PM

    Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to borealbarley maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.

  • BrianCeale · 06/26/2026 at 8:53 PM

    Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at kettlecrestcraftcollective extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.

  • Alfredohycle · 06/26/2026 at 8:54 PM

    Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to waferturtle kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  • GunnerGow · 06/26/2026 at 8:54 PM

    Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at ekomug confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.

  • BrianCeale · 06/26/2026 at 8:59 PM

    Thank you for being clear and direct, that simple approach saves so much frustration on the reader’s end, and a stop at kettlecrestcraftcollective only made me more sure of it, the rest of the content seems to follow the same pattern which is a great sign of consistent editorial care behind the scenes.

  • Doriangat · 06/26/2026 at 8:59 PM

    A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at jadkix extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.

  • Juliomep · 06/26/2026 at 8:59 PM

    Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to shopwavemarket continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.

  • GunnerGow · 06/26/2026 at 8:59 PM

    Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at ekomug kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.

  • FranklinCeari · 06/26/2026 at 9:00 PM

    Pass this along to colleagues if the topic comes up, the framing here is sensible, and a stop at alpinecobble adds more useful angles to share, the kind of content that improves conversations rather than just feeding them is what makes a resource genuinely valuable in professional contexts going forward over time and across project boundaries too.

  • KalebExind · 06/26/2026 at 9:00 PM

    Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at flintanchor similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.

  • AbelDulge · 06/26/2026 at 9:00 PM

    Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at siskastencil earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.

  • Phillipcreft · 06/26/2026 at 9:01 PM

    Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at borealbarley held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.

  • Alfredohycle · 06/26/2026 at 9:04 PM

    Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at waferturtle kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.

  • Juliomep · 06/26/2026 at 9:04 PM

    Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at shopwavemarket confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

  • FranklinCeari · 06/26/2026 at 9:04 PM

    Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at alpinecobble confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.

  • Alfredohycle · 06/26/2026 at 9:20 PM

    Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at waferturtle kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.

  • Lesterboics · 06/26/2026 at 9:23 PM

    However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at sambasavor continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.

  • Juliomep · 06/26/2026 at 9:23 PM

    Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at shopwavemarket kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.

  • Jakesiz · 06/26/2026 at 9:26 PM

    Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at caramelcovemerchantgallery pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.

  • AbelDulge · 06/26/2026 at 9:27 PM

    Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward, and a stop at siskastencil reinforced that subtle shift, the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.

  • GaryDusly · 06/26/2026 at 9:27 PM

    A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at summitshire continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.

  • GaryDusly · 06/26/2026 at 9:36 PM

    A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at summitshire extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.

  • EliasZef · 06/26/2026 at 9:38 PM

    Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at aviarybuckle continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.

  • GaryDusly · 06/26/2026 at 9:41 PM

    Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at summitshire pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

    Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at caramelcovemerchantgallery kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.

    Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at summitshire reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.

  • EduardoCah · 06/26/2026 at 9:48 PM

    Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at bayougourd continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.

  • Jakesiz · 06/26/2026 at 9:50 PM

    Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at caramelcovemerchantgallery extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.

  • Juliomep · 06/26/2026 at 9:51 PM

    Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at shopwavemarket extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.

  • EliasZef · 06/26/2026 at 9:53 PM

    Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at aviarybuckle kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.
