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.

    Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at forestcoveoutpost2 confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.

  • CalvinSet · 10/05/2026 at 12:32 AM

    If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at moonbrookdistrict extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.

  • https://www.vilc.ca/ · 10/05/2026 at 12:32 AM

    This is an important issue that you’ve highlighted.

  • MaxWroge · 10/05/2026 at 12:37 AM

    After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at linencovevault continued that voice consistency, sites that maintain a single coherent voice across many pieces by potentially many writers represent serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed the institutional consistency needed for that.

    Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at forestcoveoutpost2 maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.

  • Jettnut · 10/05/2026 at 12:55 AM

    A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at crownmeadowcollectivemart kept the same patient pace, the difference between unhurried and slow is a fine editorial distinction and this site has clearly found the unhurried side without slipping into the slow side which would have lost me as a reader quickly otherwise.

    Hey! Someone in my Myspace group shared this site with us so I came to look it over.
    I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and
    will be tweeting this to my followers! Excellent blog and superb design.

  • vanity address generation · 10/05/2026 at 1:08 AM

    Thanks very nice blog!

  • ChrisNeree · 10/05/2026 at 1:13 AM

    Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at daisycoveartisanbazaar 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.

  • MaxWroge · 10/05/2026 at 1:23 AM

    Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on linencovevault I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  • Quinnwap · 10/05/2026 at 1:24 AM

    Useful enough to recommend to several people I know who would appreciate it, and a stop at outrankoutlet added more material I will pass along too, the kind of writing that earns word of mouth is the kind that actually delivers on its promises which is what this site does without any drama or fanfare attached.

  • Jettnut · 10/05/2026 at 1:44 AM

    A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at crownmeadowcollectivemart produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.

    Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at crowntrailartisanoutlet maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.

  • ChrisNeree · 10/05/2026 at 1:58 AM

    Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at daisycoveartisanbazaar reflected that approach, the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.

  • Jettnut · 10/05/2026 at 2:05 AM

    Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at crownmeadowcollectivemart extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  • CalvinSet · 10/05/2026 at 2:06 AM

    Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at moonbrookdistrict continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.

  • Quinnwap · 10/05/2026 at 2:10 AM

    Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at outrankoutlet 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.

  • KrisLouri · 10/05/2026 at 2:26 AM

    Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at forestcoveoutpost2 continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.

  • Jettnut · 10/05/2026 at 2:30 AM

    If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at crownmeadowcollectivemart extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.

  • Byronwinue · 10/05/2026 at 2:30 AM

    Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at sageharborcollectivemart 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.

  • Coreybeash · 10/05/2026 at 2:33 AM

    Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at wheatcovevault kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.

  • MaxWroge · 10/05/2026 at 2:39 AM

    Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at linencovevault 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.

  • Lewisnub · 10/05/2026 at 2:43 AM

    Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at crowntrailartisanoutlet maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.

  • MaxWroge · 10/05/2026 at 3:03 AM

    Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at linencovevault only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.

  • kapsul viagra murah · 10/05/2026 at 3:04 AM

    Greate post. Keep writing such kind of information on your blog.
    Im really impressed by your blog.
    Hello there, You’ve done an incredible job. I will certainly
    digg it and for my part suggest to my friends. I am confident they’ll be benefited from this web site.

  • Lewisnub · 10/05/2026 at 3:06 AM

    Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at crowntrailartisanoutlet suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.

    Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to daisycoveartisanbazaar confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

    Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at sageharborcollectivemart 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.

  • Quinnwap · 10/05/2026 at 3:25 AM

    Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at outrankoutlet kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.

  • Lewisnub · 10/05/2026 at 3:31 AM

    Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at crowntrailartisanoutlet confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.

  • ChrisNeree · 10/05/2026 at 3:37 AM

    Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over daisycoveartisanbazaar 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.

  • AlecIndum · 10/05/2026 at 3:40 AM

    Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at frostdockartisanbazaar continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.

  • Byronwinue · 10/05/2026 at 3:41 AM

    Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at sageharborcollectivemart kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.

  • Quinnwap · 10/05/2026 at 3:48 AM

    Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at outrankoutlet confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.

    Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at sageharborcollectivemart 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.

    Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at frostdockartisanbazaar produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.
