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.

Just dropping by to say thanks for the effort, it does not go unnoticed when a writer cares this much about the reader, and after I went through nooknarrative I was certain this is one of the better corners of the internet for this particular kind of content which is genuinely refreshing.
KobePourf · 08/30/2026 at 8:27 PM
The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at blog66pain added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.

Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at doctorahmed continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.

The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at softalpha 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.
JaceJog · 08/30/2026 at 8:31 PM
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at accessapp extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.

Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at linkloomshop kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
DannyReuck · 08/30/2026 at 8:34 PM
Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after ultraengine 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.

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for
me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a
designer to create your theme? Exceptional work!
Davidlinty · 08/30/2026 at 8:37 PM
Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at formulafoundry extended the confirmation, content that gives shape to fuzzy intuitions is doing the rare work of making private thoughts public and this site is providing that articulating service consistently for me lately.
KadeGet · 08/30/2026 at 8:38 PM
Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at latchlogic fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.
ConnerFem · 08/30/2026 at 8:42 PM
Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at blog44focuss continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.
Davidlinty · 08/30/2026 at 8:44 PM
This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at formulafoundry kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at accessapp maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.
Lucasjut · 08/30/2026 at 8:47 PM
A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at heliohive maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.
Bertramviova · 08/30/2026 at 8:47 PM
Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at webvault added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.
Alfonsoemign · 08/30/2026 at 8:48 PM
Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at runriver produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.
CarlLolve · 08/30/2026 at 8:49 PM
The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at softalpha continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.
Gavinspoug · 08/30/2026 at 8:50 PM
Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after nooknarrative I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.

The headings made navigating the post simple even when I needed to find a specific section quickly, and a look at zestzeny continued the same thoughtful structure, small details like clear headings show that someone is actually thinking about how the reader uses the page rather than just filling it for length alone.
JaceJog · 08/30/2026 at 8:53 PM
Really appreciate that the writer did not assume I would read every other related post first, and a look at accessapp kept that self contained feel going where each piece can stand alone, accessibility for new readers is a sign of generous editorial thinking and this site has clearly invested in that approach.

Oh my goodness! Impressive article dude! Thank you,
However I am going through issues with your RSS.

Is there anyone else having the same RSS issues?
Anyone that knows the answer will you kindly respond? Thanx!!

Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at softseed extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.
JaceJog · 08/30/2026 at 9:01 PM
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at accessapp extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.

Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at slatekit reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.
Juanjoymn · 08/30/2026 at 9:05 PM
A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at doctorahmed extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.

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.
Davidlinty · 08/30/2026 at 9:11 PM
Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at formulafoundry kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.
EstevanBew · 08/30/2026 at 9:12 PM
Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to conversioncove kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.
KobePourf · 08/30/2026 at 9:14 PM
If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at blog66pain extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.
KadeGet · 08/30/2026 at 9:16 PM
Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at latchlogic continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.
CarlLolve · 08/30/2026 at 9:17 PM
Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at softalpha added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.
EstevanBew · 08/30/2026 at 9:18 PM
Took something from this I did not expect to find, and a stop at conversioncove added another unexpected useful piece, content that exceeds expectations rather than just meeting them is the kind that builds enthusiasm and earns repeat visits without any explicit ask from the writer or platform behind the work being read.
Wilfredcaf · 08/30/2026 at 9:20 PM
A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at orchidoutpost maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.
Jimnar · 08/30/2026 at 9:21 PM
Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at pcpartspal confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.
EstevanBew · 08/30/2026 at 9:24 PM
After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at conversioncove 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.
