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.

    Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at roamroot added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.

  • Warrendug · 08/30/2026 at 9:25 PM

    Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at softseed earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.

  • CarlLolve · 08/30/2026 at 9:26 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.

  • ClarenceAbaby · 08/30/2026 at 9:27 PM

    A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at devsupreme continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.

  • Milesmar · 08/30/2026 at 9:27 PM

    Started a draft response in my head and ended without publishing it because the post said it well enough, and a look at linkloomshop 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.

  • Jimnar · 08/30/2026 at 9:33 PM

    Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at pcpartspal 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.

    If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at appgorge 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.

    Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at runriver reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.

  • ShawnToiff · 08/30/2026 at 9:38 PM

    Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at zestzeny only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  • Jimnar · 08/30/2026 at 9:38 PM

    Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at pcpartspal only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.

  • ClarenceAbaby · 08/30/2026 at 9:39 PM

    Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at devsupreme suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.

    Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at trusttoken continued that disciplined vocabulary, sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.

  • ClarenceAbaby · 08/30/2026 at 9:44 PM

    Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at devsupreme confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.

  • thoi tiet hom nay · 08/30/2026 at 9:44 PM

    Keep on writing, great job!

  • Jimnar · 08/30/2026 at 9:45 PM

    A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at pcpartspal maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.

    Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but,
    I’d like to shoot you an email. I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested
    in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward
    to seeing it develop over time.

  • ClarenceAbaby · 08/30/2026 at 9:50 PM

    Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at devsupreme 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.

  • Davidlinty · 08/30/2026 at 9:52 PM

    Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at formulafoundry 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.

  • LeePreli · 08/30/2026 at 9:53 PM

    A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at appgorge continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.

  • NicolasNes · 08/30/2026 at 9:53 PM

    Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at lockandloadshop extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.

  • Adrianjesty · 08/30/2026 at 9:54 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 logicloft 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.

    Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at trusttoken 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.

  • Alfonsoemign · 08/30/2026 at 10:00 PM

    Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at runriver drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.

  • Juanjoymn · 08/30/2026 at 10:01 PM

    Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at doctorahmed extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.

  • LeePreli · 08/30/2026 at 10:01 PM

    Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at appgorge took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.

    Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at softalpha 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.

  • ad88 · 08/30/2026 at 10:04 PM

    Hey very interesting blog!

  • this link · 08/30/2026 at 10:06 PM

    Hi mate, I just read your deep dive regarding 1xBet aggressive advertising strategies in Sri Lanka, India, and Pakistan.

    Your research is spot on that for the 2025-2026 sporting calendar, we simply
    can’t escape these betting sponsorships.
    They have practically taken over the Lanka Premier League (LPL) and
    growing esports events.

    However, we shouldn’t ignore the massive benefits.
    These sponsorships is crucial for the survival of
    cricket infrastructure in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and India.

    Without this level of financial support, cricket boards would face severe financial crises.
    Let’s face it: this money trickles down to grassroots sports development.

    Even with the controversies you mentioned, I firmly
    believe this financial injection is exactly what South Asian cricket needs to
    remain competitive on the global stage. Makes for a very interesting discussion!

    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 orchidoutpost 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.
