the thread where this came from

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.

http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2006/10/08/local/doc4528236cbbe78108869260.txt

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.

    Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at blog44forward kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.

  • KileCag · 08/14/2026 at 8:01 PM

    A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at softtitan extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

    Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to zylra 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.

  • ForrestRhima · 08/14/2026 at 8:03 PM

    Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at blog33as reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.

  • StanleyGor · 08/14/2026 at 8:03 PM

    Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at orbitcloud only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.

  • HarleyThelp · 08/14/2026 at 8:06 PM

    During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at jetbyte continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.

  • Scottnen · 08/14/2026 at 8:06 PM

    Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at emberfieldmarket extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  • CharlieTom · 08/14/2026 at 8:07 PM

    Useful read, especially because the writer did not assume too much background from the reader, and a quick look at bondcapital continued in the same way, a thoughtful site that meets people where they are which is something the modern web could use a lot more of for both casual and serious readers.

  • ForrestRhima · 08/14/2026 at 8:08 PM

    Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at blog33as reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.

  • StanleyGor · 08/14/2026 at 8:09 PM

    Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at orbitcloud expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.

  • SkylarFut · 08/14/2026 at 8:11 PM

    Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to bestshoppingchoice kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.

  • Raymonddof · 08/14/2026 at 8:11 PM

    Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at intentionalvector 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.

  • JadonLut · 08/14/2026 at 8:12 PM

    Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at zylra did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.

  • Scottnen · 08/14/2026 at 8:17 PM

    Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at emberfieldmarket carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.

  • HarleyThelp · 08/14/2026 at 8:18 PM

    Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at jetbyte confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.

    Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at emberfieldmarket 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.

  • HarleyThelp · 08/14/2026 at 8:24 PM

    Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at jetbyte reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.

  • KileCag · 08/14/2026 at 8:24 PM

    Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at softtitan confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.

  • ClaudiaDok · 08/14/2026 at 8:26 PM

    Honestly, I have been watching the forum recently, and I finally needed to contribute some of my insights. First off, from my experience most bettors always ignore the importance of strict limits, and this absolutely determines your long-term experience. Furthermore, slots right now are becoming incredibly dynamic, which means you absolutely ought to be careful. By the way, I stumbled upon this amazing guide [url=https://www.pinterest.com/login_casoola/_created/]casoola bonus[/url], as it offers some great data on how to boost your winning potential. I must add, I reckon that running after money lost is a surefire method to lose everything, which is why you should know when to call it a day. What are your thoughts about that?

  • Scottnen · 08/14/2026 at 8:26 PM

    Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at emberfieldmarket similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.

  • GrantShuPs · 08/14/2026 at 8:30 PM

    Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after bondtrusty I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  • HarleyThelp · 08/14/2026 at 8:30 PM

    A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at jetbyte continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.

  • ForrestRhima · 08/14/2026 at 8:32 PM

    Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at blog33as extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.

  • KileCag · 08/14/2026 at 8:32 PM

    A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at softtitan extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

  • Gregkaw · 08/14/2026 at 8:33 PM

    Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at blog44box kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.

  • Raymonddof · 08/14/2026 at 8:36 PM

    Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at intentionalvector added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.

    Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at bestshoppingchoice prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.

  • EmilioTof · 08/14/2026 at 8:39 PM

    Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at zavirogoods the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.

  • Scottnen · 08/14/2026 at 8:43 PM

    Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at emberfieldmarket kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.

  • EmilioKab · 08/14/2026 at 8:44 PM

    Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at apextrove kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.

  • GrantShuPs · 08/14/2026 at 8:45 PM

    Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at bondtrusty added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.

  • Rudyhut · 08/14/2026 at 8:45 PM

    Reading this in pieces over a coffee break and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at zylavotrustgroup extended that into related material I will return to later, the kind of site that fits naturally into small reading windows without requiring a long uninterrupted block is genuinely useful for how I actually browse.

    One thing I really like here is how smoothly the information is presented, since the post manages to stay useful, interesting, and simple to follow at the same time, which is not always easy to achieve in online discussions these days.

    A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at emberfieldmarket maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.
