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.

    Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at remoteroom 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.

  • KennethAgorp · 08/30/2026 at 10:17 AM

    Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at orbitolive extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.

  • Alvinpycle · 08/30/2026 at 10:20 AM

    Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at blog44windows only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

  • Jaredplapy · 08/30/2026 at 10:20 AM

    Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at printpressshop produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.

  • Glennnab · 08/30/2026 at 10:21 AM

    Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at blog44fill extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.

  • DarylAbrar · 08/30/2026 at 10:21 AM

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

  • Ronniefaw · 08/30/2026 at 10:22 AM

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

    Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at screenstride was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.

  • LewisLiply · 08/30/2026 at 10:32 AM

    After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at ultrapath reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.

  • DarylAbrar · 08/30/2026 at 10:35 AM

    Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at webgorge closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.

  • DwightOwerm · 08/30/2026 at 10:37 AM

    Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at marketmagnet 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.

  • KevinDiows · 08/30/2026 at 10:40 AM

    Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at quillquarry added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.

  • DarylAbrar · 08/30/2026 at 10:41 AM

  • Jaredplapy · 08/30/2026 at 10:41 AM

    Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at printpressshop maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.

  • Alfonsoemign · 08/30/2026 at 10:44 AM

    Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at runriver extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.

  • LewisLiply · 08/30/2026 at 10:44 AM

    Strong recommendation, anyone interested in this topic owes themselves a visit, and a stop at ultrapath 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.

  • KennethAgorp · 08/30/2026 at 10:45 AM

    Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at orbitolive confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  • Glennnab · 08/30/2026 at 10:45 AM

    A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at blog44fill maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.

  • Jaredplapy · 08/30/2026 at 10:48 AM

    During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at printpressshop extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.

  • abcvip t?p ?oàn · 08/30/2026 at 10:50 AM

    I do trust all the concepts you have presented to
    your post. They’re very convincing and can certainly work.
    Still, the posts are very brief for starters. Could you please lengthen them a bit
    from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

  • Scotthaw · 08/30/2026 at 10:51 AM

    The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at quadqube kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.

  • KennethAgorp · 08/30/2026 at 10:53 AM

    Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at orbitolive kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.

  • Glennnab · 08/30/2026 at 10:53 AM

    Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at blog44fill maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

  • Clintonbathe · 08/30/2026 at 10:54 AM

    Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at trusttoken continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.

    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 tooltime 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.

  • Virgillarse · 08/30/2026 at 11:02 AM

    Thanks for keeping things clear and to the point, that is honestly hard to find online these days, and after reading through remoteroom the message stayed consistent which makes me trust the information being shared more than I usually do on similar pages that cover this same kind of topic.

  • LewisLiply · 08/30/2026 at 11:04 AM

    A piece that exhibited the kind of patience that good writing requires, and a look at ultrapath continued that patient quality, hurried writing is easy to spot and this site reads as having been written without time pressure which produces a different feel than the rushed content that dominates much of the modern blog space.

  • KevinDiows · 08/30/2026 at 11:05 AM

    Skipped to a specific section because I knew that was the question I had, and the answer was clean, and a stop at quillquarry similarly delivered targeted answers without burying them, content engineered for readers who arrive with specific needs rather than open ended browsing is increasingly valuable in a search heavy reading environment.

  • JamesDen · 08/30/2026 at 11:09 AM

    Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at servoreach produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.

    Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at ultrapath added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.

  • Jaredplapy · 08/30/2026 at 11:16 AM

    This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at printpressshop did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.

  • Luiscob · 08/30/2026 at 11:16 AM

    Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at screenstride hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.

  • ConnerFem · 08/30/2026 at 11:18 AM

    Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at blog44focuss extended that wish into a broader hope, sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.

  • Alvinpycle · 08/30/2026 at 11:19 AM

    Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at blog44windows only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

  • JudsonMup · 08/30/2026 at 11:22 AM

    The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at webforest continued the same voice, this kind of editorial consistency is a sign of either a single careful writer or a tightly run team and either is impressive today across the broader media environment.

  • JamesDen · 08/30/2026 at 11:24 AM

    A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at servoreach continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.

  • JuddDrity · 08/30/2026 at 11:24 AM

    Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at softorbit similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.
