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.

  • SterlingLab · 08/29/2026 at 11:16 PM

    Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at monitormerchant continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.

  • Ashtonbaf · 08/29/2026 at 11:17 PM

    Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at radarreach added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.

    It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by defining this as such a comprehensive, almost unknowable problem. Isn’t that self-defeating?

    Greetings from Idaho! I’m bored at work so I decided to browse your
    blog on my iphone during lunch break. I love the knowledge
    you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home.

    I’m amazed at how quick your blog loaded on my cell phone ..
    I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow,
    excellent site!

  • NathanielCok · 08/29/2026 at 11:19 PM

    Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at fanfriendly 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.

  • Cameroneases · 08/29/2026 at 11:20 PM

    Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at vantavalley 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.

  • Mattrusty · 08/29/2026 at 11:21 PM

    Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at kilokey extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.

  • Arnoldrep · 08/29/2026 at 11:22 PM

    Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at reportroost confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

  • Rodrigoced · 08/29/2026 at 11:23 PM

    Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at brandbeacon added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.

  • Lucianinema · 08/29/2026 at 11:25 PM

    Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at gadgetbit reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.

  • DamonAdofs · 08/29/2026 at 11:25 PM

    Nice and clean, that is the best way to describe the writing here, no clutter and no wasted words, and a quick visit to pearlpantry2 kept that going, I appreciate when a site treats its readers like people who can think for themselves without needing constant hand holding through every paragraph.

  • DonovanPef · 08/29/2026 at 11:27 PM

    Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at conversioncove suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.

  • ArnoldOwnew · 08/29/2026 at 11:27 PM

    Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after nimbusnet 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.

  • BradWam · 08/29/2026 at 11:29 PM

    A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at marigoldmarket extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.

  • Mattrusty · 08/29/2026 at 11:30 PM

    Started a draft response in my head and ended without publishing it because the post said it well enough, and a look at kilokey produced the same effect, content that satisfies my urge to add to it by being complete enough on its own is rare and represents a particular kind of editorial completeness here.

  • RoderickHox · 08/29/2026 at 11:31 PM

    A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at azureatrium maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.

  • XavierMulge · 08/29/2026 at 11:35 PM

    Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at tulapixel extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.

  • ????? · 08/29/2026 at 11:35 PM

    Hey there would you mind letting me know which web
    host you’re utilizing? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different
    web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
    Can you recommend a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price?
    Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

  • Arnoldrep · 08/29/2026 at 11:36 PM

    Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at reportroost continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.

  • Health Directory Singapore · 08/29/2026 at 11:36 PM

    I am really loving the theme/design of your website.
    Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility
    issues? A number of my blog audience have complained about my website not operating
    correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome.
    Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?

  • TroyDoF · 08/29/2026 at 11:36 PM

    Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at fanfriendly kept that going, every paragraph here carries something worth reading rather than padding out the page to hit some arbitrary length target that search engines reward but readers ignore as soon as they notice it.

  • RoderickHox · 08/29/2026 at 11:38 PM

    Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on azureatrium I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

    Generally I don’t read article on blogs, but I would like to say that this
    write-up very pressured me to take a look at and do so! Your writing taste has been surprised me.
    Thank you, quite nice post.

  • Philliphally · 08/29/2026 at 11:42 PM

    Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at canadacabin only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.

  • Arnoldrep · 08/29/2026 at 11:42 PM

    High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at reportroost kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.

  • Rodrigoced · 08/29/2026 at 11:43 PM

    Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at brandbeacon continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.

  • MiltonBoalo · 08/29/2026 at 11:45 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.

  • Lucianinema · 08/29/2026 at 11:47 PM

    Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at gadgetbit extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.

  • Lincolnnap · 08/29/2026 at 11:49 PM

    Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at posterpalace extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.

  • TroyDoF · 08/29/2026 at 11:49 PM

    Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at fanfriendly maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  • Rodrigoced · 08/29/2026 at 11:49 PM

    Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at brandbeacon continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  • Arnoldrep · 08/29/2026 at 11:49 PM

    Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at reportroost earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.

    Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at pearlpantry2 adds even more useful angles, the kind of site that becomes a reference rather than just a one time read which is a higher bar than most blogs ever reach today on the modern web.

    Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at nimbusnet continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.
