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.

    Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at blog33particularly adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

  • DarylMiz · 08/27/2026 at 7:25 AM

    Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at partyparcel provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.

  • RobertoGib · 08/27/2026 at 7:25 AM

    Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at appprairie extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.

  • Nicodit · 08/27/2026 at 7:26 AM

    Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at echostack suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.

    Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at softsapling reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.

  • StevenBrult · 08/27/2026 at 7:31 AM

    Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at blog33particularly continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.

  • Jameljailt · 08/27/2026 at 7:32 AM

    Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at appelite kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.

  • Benjaminsom · 08/27/2026 at 7:32 AM

    Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at sparkroot confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.

  • ChristopherExpep · 08/27/2026 at 7:34 AM

    Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at srmmela kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.

  • RobertoGib · 08/27/2026 at 7:36 AM

    Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to appprairie kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.

  • Lylemat · 08/27/2026 at 7:38 AM

    Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at rotiandrice reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.

  • ScottCer · 08/27/2026 at 7:38 AM

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

  • AustinErene · 08/27/2026 at 7:38 AM

    Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at orbitoutlet confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.

  • Jameljailt · 08/27/2026 at 7:41 AM

    Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at appelite continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.

  • ForrestMeaps · 08/27/2026 at 7:43 AM

    Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at webcube kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

  • Hassandow · 08/27/2026 at 7:43 AM

    Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at unionunit similarly rewarded careful reading from the start, content where every paragraph carries weight is content I now know to read from the beginning rather than skipping ahead.

  • the epoch times orange county · 08/27/2026 at 7:44 AM

    Excellent post. I will be facing a few of these issues as well..

  • BenjaminMoomo · 08/27/2026 at 7:46 AM

    Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at questqode added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.

  • ErikJet · 08/27/2026 at 7:47 AM

    Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at omniordery added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.

  • AustinErene · 08/27/2026 at 7:48 AM

    Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at orbitoutlet extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.

  • Kilesauth · 08/27/2026 at 7:51 AM

    Just sat back at the end of the post and felt grateful that someone took the time to write it, and a look at poplarprime extended that gratitude across more of the site, recognising effort behind quality work is part of what makes the open web a community rather than just a marketplace today.

  • AsianTube.tv · 08/27/2026 at 7:51 AM

    Japanese Grown-up Movies are available for completely on AsianTube.
    And if you’re unfamiliar with Asian sex wording, JAV is exactly what it sounds: Japanese adult videos.
    For all the naked girls and the filthy things they’re doing,
    it’s not adult-rated for swearing or murder. And that’s simply the kind of content
    we all enjoy watching on this site. AsianTube.tv http://boiler.ttoslinux.org/bettyhuot38966

  • Jameljailt · 08/27/2026 at 7:52 AM

    Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at appelite extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.

  • ForrestMeaps · 08/27/2026 at 7:53 AM

    Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at webcube continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.

  • ChristopherExpep · 08/27/2026 at 7:54 AM

    Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at srmmela rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  • Porterwrems · 08/27/2026 at 7:58 AM

    Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at auroriv continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.

  • StevenBrult · 08/27/2026 at 7:59 AM

    After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at blog33particularly continued that voice consistency, sites that maintain a single coherent voice across many pieces by potentially many writers represent serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed the institutional consistency needed for that.

  • JadenHieve · 08/27/2026 at 8:00 AM

    I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at weborchard added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.

  • Hassandow · 08/27/2026 at 8:00 AM

    Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at unionunit hinted at a quality reader community, sites where the comments are worth reading separately from the post are increasingly rare and signal a particular kind of audience that has grown around the editorial vision over time gradually.

  • Lylemat · 08/27/2026 at 8:04 AM

    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 rotiandrice kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

  • DamonTwips · 08/27/2026 at 8:05 AM

    Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at darktales continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.

    Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at warungtemen kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.
