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 Lincolnâ€™s Community Health Endowment Fund

This amendment would allow greater diversity in investing city public endowment funds and is intended to help Lincolnâ€™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 Gamblerâ€™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.

Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at stackgrid 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.
Virgillarse · 08/31/2026 at 1:06 AM

Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at remoteroom continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.
Armandoped · 08/31/2026 at 1:06 AM

Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at tooltime kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.
Cainmub · 08/31/2026 at 1:07 AM

Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at devsummit added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.
Juanjoymn · 08/31/2026 at 1:09 AM

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.
Bertramviova · 08/31/2026 at 1:09 AM

Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at webvault earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.

One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at phishproof added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.

Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at shiftgrid extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.

Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at blog33much 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.

Obstawiam na Mostbecie jakies pol roku, przewaznie sloty, czasem cos z live. Trafilem tam bo kolega z pracy gadal o tym, specjalnie sie nie nastawialem. Biblioteka gier jest spory — gdzies 3 tysiecy gier, Pragmatic, NetEnt i Play’n GO, Yggdrasil. Sweet Bonanza siedzi u mnie na skrotach, ale w ostatnich tygodniach testuje nowsze rzeczy z Yggdrasil.

To co mnie realnie wkurza to nawigacja w kategoriach — dziala tak sobie. Pomijajac to jakos zyje. Live casino jedzie na Evolution i tu akurat nie ma sie do czego przyczepic — ruletki sa tez PL, a Crazy Time jest ciekawsze niz wiekszosc automatow.

Startowy bonus na Mostbet to 125% do pierwszego depozytu plus paczka 250 spinow, wrzucane partiami. Warunek obrotu to x60, czyli standard, ale nie prezent, min. depozyt to jakies 20 zl. Jak ktos szuka aktualnych kodow, to zajrzyj na [url=https://partystartersusa.net/uncategorized/mostbet-kod-promocyjny-2026-bez-depozytu-krok-po-kroku-rejestracja-aktywacja-i-wyplata]wi?cej informacji[/url] przed rejestracja. Sam proces zajela mi doslownie chwile, KYC niecala dobe.

Kase wyciagam zwykle przez Skrill, schodzi w 2-3 godziny. Karta schodzilo do dwoch dni roboczych, crypto ponoc idzie najszybciej, ale nie sprawdzalem. Jest tez Neteller, oraz standardowe przelewy.

Obsluga w Mostbet jest po polsku, chociaz czasem widac kalki z tlumacza. Zdarzyl mi sie zgrzyt przy free spinach — rozwiazali tego samego dnia. Licencja Curacao, czyli nie MGA, trzeba wiedziec. Aplikacja mobilna nie krzaczy sie, ale na iOS jest to mniej wygodne.

Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at ghostgear added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.

Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at orchidoutpost suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.
Harveynag · 08/31/2026 at 1:27 AM

Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at roamroot confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.
Virgillarse · 08/31/2026 at 1:27 AM

Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at remoteroom reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.
Armandoped · 08/31/2026 at 1:27 AM

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 tooltime I was certain this is one of the better corners of the internet for this particular kind of content which is genuinely refreshing.

Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at trusttoken continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.

Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at sorenironhide extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.

I truly love your blog.. Excellent colors & theme. Did you make this
site yourself? Please reply back as I’m wanting to create my own website and would love to learn where you got this from or what the theme
is named. Many thanks!
KelbyCruro · 08/31/2026 at 1:34 AM

Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at phishproof added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.
Renefrata · 08/31/2026 at 1:37 AM

Thank you for keeping the writing honest and the points easy to verify against your own experience, and a stop at partyparcel reflected the same approach, no exaggeration just steady useful content that I can take with me into my own work without second guessing every sentence I happen to read here.

Wilfordmeath · 08/31/2026 at 1:37 AM

Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at oakopal held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.
Warrendug · 08/31/2026 at 1:38 AM

Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at softseed 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.
VernonProob · 08/31/2026 at 1:41 AM

Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at ghostgear extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.
KelbyCruro · 08/31/2026 at 1:42 AM

Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at phishproof extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.

Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at stackgrid confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.
