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.

    Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at brainsight-reeracoen extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.

  • VanceFAf · 08/03/2026 at 11:04 AM

    Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at morixoholdings extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.

  • FelixWet · 08/03/2026 at 11:04 AM

    Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to kryvoxline 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.

  • Ronalddwert · 08/03/2026 at 11:06 AM

    A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at ulvarobond maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.

  • RicardoRab · 08/03/2026 at 11:07 AM

    Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at YungBludComic 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.

  • WestonThedy · 08/03/2026 at 11:07 AM

    I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at smartconsumerbuyingzone the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.

  • SterlingDig · 08/03/2026 at 11:08 AM

    Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at FreeSpeechColation extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.

  • FredElurl · 08/03/2026 at 11:09 AM

    Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at astoriatogether suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.

  • Ivanjerie · 08/03/2026 at 11:10 AM

    Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at stopkrasner extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.

  • TristanTep · 08/03/2026 at 11:10 AM

    Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at brandonlangexperts confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

  • Glennreive · 08/03/2026 at 11:13 AM

    Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at threebakingsheetstothewind continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.

  • RicardoRab · 08/03/2026 at 11:13 AM

    Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at YungBludComic maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

  • Stevebunty · 08/03/2026 at 11:14 AM

    A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at realherschel continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.

  • SteveToT · 08/03/2026 at 11:15 AM

    Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at shopmaggielindemann continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.

  • FredElurl · 08/03/2026 at 11:16 AM

    Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at astoriatogether kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.

  • WestonThedy · 08/03/2026 at 11:17 AM

    Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at smartconsumerbuyingzone got the same targeted share, sharing carefully rather than broadcasting is a discipline I try to maintain and this site is generating shares from me at a sustainable rate rather than the spam rate of viral content.

  • FelixWet · 08/03/2026 at 11:18 AM

    Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at kryvoxline provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.

  • Ivanjerie · 08/03/2026 at 11:19 AM

    Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at stopkrasner 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.

  • TristanTep · 08/03/2026 at 11:20 AM

    Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at brandonlangexperts maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.

  • QuincyKiply · 08/03/2026 at 11:20 AM

    Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at findgos continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.

  • Jacksom · 08/03/2026 at 11:21 AM

    A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at mimastrollers 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.

  • WestonThedy · 08/03/2026 at 11:22 AM

    Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at smartconsumerbuyingzone got the same targeted share, sharing carefully rather than broadcasting is a discipline I try to maintain and this site is generating shares from me at a sustainable rate rather than the spam rate of viral content.

  • SteveToT · 08/03/2026 at 11:22 AM

    Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at shopmaggielindemann confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

  • Stevebunty · 08/03/2026 at 11:23 AM

    Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at realherschel only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.

  • FredElurl · 08/03/2026 at 11:24 AM

    Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at astoriatogether continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.

  • JoequieT · 08/03/2026 at 11:24 AM

    Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at formative-coffee continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.

  • Ronalddwert · 08/03/2026 at 11:27 AM

    Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at ulvarobond pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.

  • WestonThedy · 08/03/2026 at 11:28 AM

    Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at smartconsumerbuyingzone confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

  • Ivanjerie · 08/03/2026 at 11:29 AM

    Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at stopkrasner only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

  • pinup bet · 08/03/2026 at 11:31 AM

    Prudent betting is a philosophy that supports gambling continues to be a source of enjoyment rather than a source of distress.
    This approach involves setting personal limits on budget and time, as well as identifying the red flags of risky play.
    In essence, responsible gambling encourages wise decisions and allows participants to retain oversight over their betting engagement.

  • Glennreive · 08/03/2026 at 11:31 AM

    Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after threebakingsheetstothewind I had even more to absorb, the kind of content that pays back the patient reader rather than punishing them with empty filler is something I look for and rarely find in regular searches lately.

  • SterlingDig · 08/03/2026 at 11:33 AM

    Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at FreeSpeechColation extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.

  • Griffinbes · 08/03/2026 at 11:33 AM

    Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through brainsight-reeracoen I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  • Stevebunty · 08/03/2026 at 11:34 AM

    Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at realherschel pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  • TristanTep · 08/03/2026 at 11:35 AM

    Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at brandonlangexperts extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.

  • RicardoRab · 08/03/2026 at 11:36 AM

    Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at YungBludComic confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.

  • Ronalddwert · 08/03/2026 at 11:36 AM

    Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at ulvarobond continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.

  • TristanTep · 08/03/2026 at 11:40 AM

    Quiet confidence runs through the whole post, no need to shout to make the points stick, and a stop at brandonlangexperts carried that same restrained voice forward, content that respects the reader by trusting its own substance rather than dressing it up in theatrical language is what I look for online and rarely actually find these days.

  • FelixWet · 08/03/2026 at 11:41 AM

    Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at kryvoxline extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.

  • Dorianfat · 08/03/2026 at 11:42 AM

    Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at xaneroholdings kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.

  • Randalldrype · 08/03/2026 at 11:43 AM

    If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at everydayvaluepurchase extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.

  • Griffinbes · 08/03/2026 at 11:43 AM

    Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at brainsight-reeracoen reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.
