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.

    Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at blog44tos 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.

  • ClarenceAbaby · 08/30/2026 at 6:32 PM

    Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to devsupreme earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.

  • Scotthaw · 08/30/2026 at 6:35 PM

    Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at quadqube 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.

  • ClarenceAbaby · 08/30/2026 at 6:38 PM

    Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at devsupreme confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

  • Iancog · 08/30/2026 at 6:39 PM

    Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at lorvinta extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.

  • RalphWrisk · 08/30/2026 at 6:39 PM

    Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at sublimationstation 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.

  • Lucascede · 08/30/2026 at 6:41 PM

    Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at blog44tos 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.

  • aviator_zlpn · 08/30/2026 at 6:43 PM

  • Lesterhon · 08/30/2026 at 6:45 PM

    The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at appplateau 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.

  • Bertramviova · 08/30/2026 at 6:47 PM

    A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at webvault confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.

  • TristanVaT · 08/30/2026 at 6:48 PM

    Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at hydrodomain reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.

  • Lucasjut · 08/30/2026 at 6:49 PM

    Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at heliohive only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.

  • DannyReuck · 08/30/2026 at 6:50 PM

    Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at ultraengine extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.

  • Stewartrig · 08/30/2026 at 6:51 PM

    Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at appmind maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.

  • Warrendug · 08/30/2026 at 6:51 PM

    Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at softseed 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.

  • Ronniefaw · 08/30/2026 at 6:53 PM

    Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at quartzpath confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment, sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.

  • Lesterhon · 08/30/2026 at 6:53 PM

    Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at appplateau reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.

  • CoreyBom · 08/30/2026 at 6:55 PM

    Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at slatekit keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  • EstevanBew · 08/30/2026 at 6:56 PM

    Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at conversioncove added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.

  • ???? ?????? · 08/30/2026 at 6:57 PM

  • DannyReuck · 08/30/2026 at 7:00 PM

    Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at ultraengine prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.

  • ClarenceAbaby · 08/30/2026 at 7:01 PM

    After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at devsupreme 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.

  • Lesterhon · 08/30/2026 at 7:03 PM

    Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at appplateau only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.

  • Stewartrig · 08/30/2026 at 7:03 PM

    Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at appmind only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.

  • ConnerFem · 08/30/2026 at 7:04 PM

    Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at blog44focuss 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.

  • Milesmar · 08/30/2026 at 7:05 PM

    Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at linkloomshop 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.

  • Gavinspoug · 08/30/2026 at 7:06 PM

    Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at nooknarrative reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.

  • casino H13 · 08/30/2026 at 7:07 PM

    Appreciating the commitment you put into your blog and in depth information you present.
    It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same outdated rehashed material.

    Excellent read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds
    to my Google account.

  • Stewartrig · 08/30/2026 at 7:09 PM

    Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at appmind extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.

  • CoreyBom · 08/30/2026 at 7:10 PM

    Skimmed first and then went back to read carefully, and the careful read paid off in places I had missed, and a stop at slatekit got the same treatment, the rare site whose content rewards a second pass is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable single read articles.

  • Jimnar · 08/30/2026 at 7:11 PM

    Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at pcpartspal continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.

  • Lucasjut · 08/30/2026 at 7:13 PM

    On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at heliohive continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.

  • TristanVaT · 08/30/2026 at 7:14 PM

    Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at hydrodomain confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.

  • FelixWeize · 08/30/2026 at 7:15 PM

    A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at comiccradle continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.

  • Ronniefaw · 08/30/2026 at 7:15 PM

    Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at quartzpath confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment, sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.

  • Stewartrig · 08/30/2026 at 7:15 PM

    Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at appmind only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.

  • DwightOwerm · 08/30/2026 at 7:19 PM

    If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at marketmagnet continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.

  • Lucascede · 08/30/2026 at 7:20 PM

    Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at blog44tos held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.

  • Milesmar · 08/30/2026 at 7:23 PM

    Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at linkloomshop would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.

  • Scotthaw · 08/30/2026 at 7:25 PM

    Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at quadqube reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.

  • EA88 n? h? · 08/30/2026 at 7:26 PM

    It’s difficult to find knowledgeable people for this subject, but you seem
    like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks

  • LanceAgiDo · 08/30/2026 at 7:26 PM

    Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at larumed did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.

  • CoryTrike · 08/30/2026 at 7:28 PM

    Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at pivoria kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.

  • FelixWeize · 08/30/2026 at 7:28 PM

    Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at comiccradle continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.

  • NicolasNes · 08/30/2026 at 7:28 PM

    Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at lockandloadshop continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.

  • child sex videos · 08/30/2026 at 7:29 PM

    After checking out a few of the articles on your web page, I truly like your technique of writing a blog.
    I saved as a favorite it to my bookmark webpage list and will be
    checking back in the near future. Take a look at my website as well and tell me what
    you think.
