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.

Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to aislealchemy earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.
Patrickjes · 08/28/2026 at 3:28 PM
Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at liftlighthouse suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.
Jamalcek · 08/28/2026 at 3:30 PM
Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at fixitfactory continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.

Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked logiclens I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at blog33or 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.
Patrickjes · 08/28/2026 at 3:34 PM
A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at liftlighthouse 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.
MitchellAlief · 08/28/2026 at 3:35 PM
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at blog33particularly 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.
Owenerona · 08/28/2026 at 3:35 PM
Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at kyliesbrown only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.

Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to airfryerables 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.
Patrickjes · 08/28/2026 at 3:40 PM
Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at liftlighthouse extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.
KaleVub · 08/28/2026 at 3:41 PM
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at logiclens extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
Guyclaiz · 08/28/2026 at 3:42 PM
My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at blog33or maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.
TerrenceHex · 08/28/2026 at 3:43 PM
Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at engineemporium confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.

Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at looplogic kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.
WinstonJem · 08/28/2026 at 3:48 PM
A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at jeannunez 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.
Matthewhoisk · 08/28/2026 at 3:48 PM
Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at aislealchemy earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.

Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at williammarquez reflected that approach, the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.
KaleVub · 08/28/2026 at 3:51 PM
Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at logiclens kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.

Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at chicchisel 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.

Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at pinoyflix 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.
