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.

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.

    During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at seosignal extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.

  • GughedgeMum · 09/05/2026 at 7:59 AM

  • RodrigoQuipt · 09/05/2026 at 8:00 AM

    Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at pivotpalace 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.

  • Kaidox · 09/05/2026 at 8:03 AM

    However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at figandfashion added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.

  • ElijahCaump · 09/05/2026 at 8:03 AM

    Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at liltstore continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.

  • Stevejax · 09/05/2026 at 8:04 AM

    Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at moneymagnolia extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.

  • Rubencog · 09/05/2026 at 8:04 AM

    Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at jaspercart extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.

  • DevinOneme · 09/05/2026 at 8:05 AM

    Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at ilvora added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.

  • RobinInsow · 09/05/2026 at 8:05 AM

    Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to serviq I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.

  • GughedgeMum · 09/05/2026 at 8:06 AM

  • VincentGroon · 09/05/2026 at 8:06 AM

    Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at rackora kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.

    Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at pivotpalace got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.

  • Kaidox · 09/05/2026 at 8:10 AM

    Thanks for keeping things clear and to the point, that is honestly hard to find online these days, and after reading through figandfashion the message stayed consistent which makes me trust the information being shared more than I usually do on similar pages that cover this same kind of topic.

  • Ericknop · 09/05/2026 at 8:11 AM

    Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at makermerchant continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.

    Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at clickcraftshop reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.

  • RodrigoQuipt · 09/05/2026 at 8:18 AM

    Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at pivotpalace added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.

  • viagra capsule · 09/05/2026 at 8:20 AM

    It’s very easy to find out any topic on net as compared to textbooks, as I found
    this piece of writing at this website.

  • Arnoldostuff · 09/05/2026 at 8:21 AM

    A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at gpugearhouse maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.

  • Stevejax · 09/05/2026 at 8:28 AM

    Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at moneymagnolia extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.

  • BaronEloff · 09/05/2026 at 8:30 AM

    Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at clickcraftshop reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.

  • BruceBlesy · 09/05/2026 at 8:32 AM

    Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at cybercabin 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.

    Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to moneymagnolia 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.

  • BaronEloff · 09/05/2026 at 8:36 AM

    Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at clickcraftshop kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.

  • GughedgeMum · 09/05/2026 at 8:38 AM

  • Kaidox · 09/05/2026 at 8:38 AM

    Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at figandfashion confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

  • Rubencog · 09/05/2026 at 8:40 AM

    Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at jaspercart extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.

  • VapoCept review · 09/05/2026 at 8:42 AM

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I
    find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me.

    I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get
    the hang of it!

  • social video downloader · 09/05/2026 at 8:42 AM

    I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at seosignal the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.

    Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at paranormalparlor confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

  • GughedgeMum · 09/05/2026 at 8:48 AM

  • PedroMum · 09/05/2026 at 8:49 AM

    If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at cleaircove reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.

  • BruceBlesy · 09/05/2026 at 8:50 AM

    If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at cybercabin extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.
