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.

    Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at saffronstash 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.

  • Franciscohok · 09/02/2026 at 4:04 PM

    Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over adapteralley the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.

  • PhillipBub · 09/02/2026 at 4:05 PM

    Took me back a step or two on an assumption I had been making, and a stop at auroraatlas pushed that reconsideration further, writing that gently corrects the reader without being aggressive about it is a rare diplomatic skill and the team here clearly knows how to land critical points without turning readers off.

  • AsherDut · 09/02/2026 at 4:06 PM

    I came here looking for a quick answer and ended up reading the whole post because it was actually interesting, and after lahorelabel I had a much fuller picture, no stress and no confusion just a clear walk through the topic that made everything fall into place without much effort.

    If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at devgrid reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.

  • Gilbertzorce · 09/02/2026 at 4:07 PM

    Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at frolicfusion earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.

  • my website · 09/02/2026 at 4:07 PM

    I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website.
    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!

  • DestinJap · 09/02/2026 at 4:07 PM

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

    Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at cottoncorner kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.

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

  • WillieTig · 09/02/2026 at 4:13 PM

    Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at maltaescape adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.

    Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at standingstation kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.

  • AsherDut · 09/02/2026 at 4:18 PM

    Reading this gave me confidence to make a decision I had been putting off, and a stop at lahorelabel reinforced that confidence, content that translates into action in my own life rather than just informing it is content with the highest practical value and this site is generating that action level utility for me lately.

  • Kasyna internetowe pl · 09/02/2026 at 4:20 PM

    I truly love your blog.. Very nice colors & theme. Did you create this web site yourself?
    Please reply back as I’m hoping to create my very own website and would love to find out where you got this from or exactly what the theme is named.

    Many thanks!

  • Spencertat · 09/02/2026 at 4:20 PM

    Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at kovaria 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.

  • LeeBit · 09/02/2026 at 4:21 PM

    Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at skinserenade did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.

    Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all, focus stayed on the topic, and a look at datasteppe continued that author absent quality, content that disappears the writer to focus on the substance is a particular kind of generosity and this site has clearly chosen the substance over the personality consistently.

  • Reggietaumb · 09/02/2026 at 4:24 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 cottoncorner only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.

  • AsherDut · 09/02/2026 at 4:24 PM

    Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at lahorelabel continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.

  • React Server Components (RSC) · 09/02/2026 at 4:27 PM

    I am in fact glad to read this web site posts which consists of tons of valuable facts, thanks for providing these kinds of statistics.

  • Lelandliz · 09/02/2026 at 4:29 PM

    Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at boldbouton continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.

  • Herbertwed · 09/02/2026 at 4:30 PM

    Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at purepavilion reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.

  • Reggietaumb · 09/02/2026 at 4:30 PM

    Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at cottoncorner continued that productive feeling, sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.

  • ????? · 09/02/2026 at 4:30 PM

    Hi, I do believe this is an excellent web site.
    I stumbledupon it 😉 I’m going to come back once again since i have bookmarked it.
    Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be rich and continue to help others.

  • Franciscohok · 09/02/2026 at 4:30 PM

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

  • AsherDut · 09/02/2026 at 4:31 PM

    Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at lahorelabel 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.

  • DaquanteR · 09/02/2026 at 4:31 PM

    Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at clevercove added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.

  • CurtisBox · 09/02/2026 at 4:32 PM

    Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at devgrid reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.

    Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at questkit did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.

  • PhillipBub · 09/02/2026 at 4:34 PM

    A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at auroraatlas 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.

  • Normanjen · 09/02/2026 at 4:34 PM

    Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to steelsonnet continued that lean approach across more posts, content stripped of waste is content that respects you and I will always come back to that kind of approach.

  • AlanReurf · 09/02/2026 at 4:37 PM

    Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at profitpavilion earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

  • Reggietaumb · 09/02/2026 at 4:37 PM

    Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at cottoncorner kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.

    Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at adapteralley continues the dense useful content across more pages, this site clearly understands that respecting reader time is itself a form of generosity which is something most blog operations seem to have forgotten lately across the wider open web.
