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.

    Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at wirelessward 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.

  • fieryplay_wrMi · 08/29/2026 at 6:03 PM

    Klikam tu od wiosny, wiec mam prawo cos napisac. Trafilem tam przypadkiem, bo mialem dosc tego cyrku z dokumentami gdzie indziej. Sam lobby FieryPlay robi wrazenie objetoscia — jakies 3000 pozycji, glownie Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt plus troche Yggdrasil i paroma rzeczami od Big Time Gaming.

    Ja siedze najczesciej na Gates of Olympus i Sweet Bonanza, standard, nie ma co ukrywac. Fajnie ze demo dziala bez logowania, przetestowalem pare nowosci zanim wplacilem cokolwiek. Wyszukiwarka natomiast mogloby byc lepsze — po dostawcy da sie filtrowac, ale po volatility juz nie.

    Zywe stoly to praktycznie w calosci Evolution co akurat jest zaleta. Klasyka: ruletka, blackjack, i oczywiscie game shows typu Crazy Time — wieczorami potrafie tam zostac dluzej niz planowalem. Krupierzy realni, po angielsku, polskiego stolu nie znalazlem — dla czesci osob to minus.

    Pakiet na start na FieryPlay to byl u mnie 100% do 2000 zl i 100 free spinow, wydawane po 20 dziennie. Obrot x35 — da sie przerobic, choc trzeba pilnowac. Zdarzaly sie jakies spiny bez depozytu za weryfikacje numeru, choc to akcja czasowa. Regulamin przeczytaj zanim klikniesz — kody potrafia sie zmieniac z miesiaca na miesiac, biezace promo znajdziesz na [url=https://swizzpools.com/]fiery play casino[/url] jesli chcesz sprawdzic przed rejestracja.

    Zakladanie konta to jakies dwie minuty, min. depozyt to 20 zl. Place karta, obok tego dzialaja Skrill, Neteller oraz Bitcoin. Wyplaty w FieryPlay ida szybko na portfele, przelew na karte wolniej. Sprawdzanie dokumentow przy pierwszej wyplacie — typowe papiery, przeszlo w jedna dobe.

    Mobilnie lece przez przegladarke, apki nie ma i chyba nie potrzeba. Support w FieryPlay odpowiada po polsku bez dluzszego czekania, chociaz raz dostalem odpowiedz zywcem z FAQ. Licencja Curacao — nie jest to najmocniejszy papier na rynku. Narzedzia do samokontroli sa, sprawdzalem.

  • Toddlycle · 08/29/2026 at 6:03 PM

    During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at softregal 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.

  • Ericknop · 08/29/2026 at 6:03 PM

    Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at makermerchant continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.

  • Philliphally · 08/29/2026 at 6:05 PM

    Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at canadacabin kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.

  • EnriqueTum · 08/29/2026 at 6:05 PM

    Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at slatesync continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.

  • Kendrickaxock · 08/29/2026 at 6:06 PM

    Strong recommendation, anyone interested in this topic owes themselves a visit, and a stop at inboxinstitute extends that recommendation across more of the site, this is the kind of resource that makes me more optimistic about the state of the open web than I usually am these days actually for once which is genuinely refreshing.

  • MiltonBoalo · 08/29/2026 at 6:07 PM

    Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at compliancecorner confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.

  • MarshallGUG · 08/29/2026 at 6:09 PM

    Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at bridgebit reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.

  • fieryplay_iiMi · 08/29/2026 at 6:09 PM

    Klikam tu od jakichs trzech miesiecy, wiec juz chyba wypada cos skrobnac. Wpadlem na to z polecenia kolegi, z prostego powodu — wkurzalo mnie czekania po tydzien na kase gdzie indziej. Lobby w FieryPlay wyglada solidnie — gdzies kolo 3000 gier, w wiekszosci Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt plus troche Yggdrasil i Betsoftem.

    Ja gram glownie w Book of Dead, no i klasyczne Gates of Olympus, standard, nie ma co ukrywac. Plus za to ze wersje demo sa dostepne od reki, sprawdzilem tak ze cztery nowe sloty zanim wplacilem cokolwiek. Sortowanie gier za to mogloby byc lepsze — po dostawcy da sie filtrowac, ale po volatility juz nie.

    Sekcja live to praktycznie w calosci Evolution i to widac. Klasyka: ruletka, blackjack, plus te ich show typu Crazy Time — wieczorami potrafie tam zostac dluzej niz planowalem. Krupierzy to zywe osoby, w wiekszosci anglojezyczni, na polski stol nie trafilem — dla czesci osob to minus.

    Bonus powitalny u nich w FieryPlay to 100% do 2000 zl plus 100 FS, wydawane po 20 dziennie. Warunek obrotu to x35 — ani rewelacja, ani dramat. Byly tez drobne no deposit spiny po potwierdzeniu telefonu, choc to akcja czasowa. Warunki przejrzyj zanim klikniesz — oferta bywa inna niz tydzien wczesniej, aktualne rzeczy widac na [url=https://swizzpools.com/]fieryplay casino[/url] jesli chcesz sprawdzic przed rejestracja.

    Zakladanie konta to jakies dwie minuty, minimalna wplata 20 zl. Wrzucam kase Mastercardem, dostepne sa rowniez Skrill, Neteller i platnosci w BTC. Wyplaty w FieryPlay na Skrilla przyszly mi tego samego dnia, przelew na karte wolniej. Sprawdzanie dokumentow za pierwszym razem — dowod plus rachunek, nic strasznego.

    Z komorki smiga w przegladarce, dedykowanej apki brak, ale strona sie skaluje. Obsluga na FieryPlay odpisal mi po polsku dosc szybko, do dziesieciu minut, chociaz raz dostalem odpowiedz zywcem z FAQ. Curacao, tak jak wiekszosc tego typu miejsc — nie jest to najmocniejszy papier na rynku. Limitow na siebie nie ustawialem, ale opcja jest w profilu.

  • EnriqueTum · 08/29/2026 at 6:11 PM

    Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at slatesync continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

  • Toddlycle · 08/29/2026 at 6:11 PM

    Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at softregal 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.

  • CalebInsem · 08/29/2026 at 6:14 PM

    Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at hostinghaven reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.

  • tkslot · 08/29/2026 at 6:14 PM

    It’s amazing to go to see this site and reading the views of all friends regarding
    this piece of writing, while I am also zealous of getting familiarity.

  • Dravenarers · 08/29/2026 at 6:14 PM

    Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at wirelessward held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  • CarlguB · 08/29/2026 at 6:15 PM

    Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after triciarobinson I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.

  • Deannub · 08/29/2026 at 6:15 PM

    Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at campcourier only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.

  • JeffOpepe · 08/29/2026 at 6:18 PM

    Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at blog33movie reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.

  • MauriceGew · 08/29/2026 at 6:20 PM

    Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at ketsi only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

  • Dravenarers · 08/29/2026 at 6:20 PM

    Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at wirelessward extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.

  • ??? ???? · 08/29/2026 at 6:20 PM

    Your style is very unique compared to other folks I have read stuff from.
    Many thanks for posting when you’ve got the opportunity,
    Guess I’ll just bookmark this web site.

  • Toddlycle · 08/29/2026 at 6:22 PM

    Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at softregal kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.

  • KevinDiows · 08/29/2026 at 6:23 PM

    Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at quillquarry 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.

    Gram tu od wiosny, wiec juz chyba wypada cos skrobnac. Trafilem tam z polecenia kolegi, bo mialem dosc weryfikacji ciagnacej sie w nieskonczonosc gdzie indziej. Lobby w FieryPlay robi wrazenie objetoscia — cos ponad 2800 pozycji, w wiekszosci Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt plus troche Yggdrasil i Betsoftem.

    Sam gram glownie w Gates of Olympus i Sweet Bonanza, banal, wiem. Dobrze ze mozna odpalic demo bez zakladania konta, polatalem po nowosciach zanim zaczalem grac na realne. Wyszukiwarka natomiast mogloby byc lepsze — po dostawcy da sie filtrowac, ale po volatility juz nie.

    Zywe stoly oparte na Evolution i to widac. Ruletka, blackjack, no i te teleturnieje typu Crazy Time — potrafi wciagnac na dluzej niz zakladalem. Prawdziwi ludzie po drugiej stronie, w wiekszosci anglojezyczni, na polski stol nie trafilem — komus moze to przeszkadzac.

    Oferta na dzien dobry w FieryPlay to 100% do 1500 zl plus spiny plus 100 FS, wydawane po 20 dziennie. Warunek obrotu to x35 — ani rewelacja, ani dramat. Byly tez 20 spinow bez wplaty za weryfikacje, ale to raczej okazjonalnie. Zerknij na warunki zanim klikniesz — oferta bywa inna niz tydzien wczesniej, biezace promo znajdziesz na [url=https://swizzpools.com/]fiery play casino[/url] zanim zalozysz konto.

    Rejestracja zajela mi niecale trzy minuty, min. depozyt to 20 zl. Wrzucam kase Mastercardem, ale sa tez Skrill, Neteller i platnosci w BTC. Wyplaty ida szybko na portfele, przelew na karte wolniej. KYC na start — dowod plus rachunek, nic strasznego.

    Z komorki lece przez przegladarke, dedykowanej apki brak, ale strona sie skaluje. Czat z supportem FieryPlay odpisuje po polsku bez dluzszego czekania, raz musialem powtorzyc pytanie dwa razy. Curacao, tak jak wiekszosc tego typu miejsc — nie MGA, wiec swiadomosc ryzyka po twojej stronie. Limity depozytu da sie ustawic w ustawieniach konta.
