Stothert is bringing in union buster Gov Scott Walker.... She also is wheeling out a pretty heavy negative ad campaign. This 30 second ad in particular features a number of the classic tricks they like to play in these type of political ads. All the pictures of Mello in the ad show him with a frown...

You know what we need here in Lincoln? Another Red Robin. Throughout the whole city. There's only 1 and it's on 27th and Pine Lake. There should be at least another location. And I know just the place: 66th and Q. Red Robin likes to put in restaurants near malls so that location would be ideal. :ye...

I don't never have to worry about 4 Airport Security Guys physically kicking me off a plane. None of us do. If 4 guys in Chicago walk up to me on a plane and tell me they are going to throw me off thats good enough for me. Screw them and their plane I can walk over to the car rental desk and drive m...

The mayoral debate: http://www.3newsnow.com/news/local-news/stothert-mello-to-debate-tonight Isn't it tragic that they are wasting so much time talking about a Street Car and not a second about what we are going to do about all the dozens of streets now lined every day of the week with beggars and ...

Why is Mello so against the streetcar? Is it so bad Omaha wants to plan for the future? I also think it's funny a liberal is arguing against a mass transit system. What can you say at this point ......except that in the matter of the "Street Car"...... the opinions and views of our 2 Mayo...

A few random thoughts. Ernie Goss: I have no idea how far or close his estimates were but between the Convention Center, Pedestrian Bridge, TD Ameritrade ballpark. CWS attendance is still up from Rosenblatt, and it is used by Creighton for less visible games. The area is bustling if you walk or rid...

I'll be voting Stothert in the election, I think she's done a good job. Also, it's hilarious some people are using the fact she didn't vote for Trump against her, more than anything that shows she is not willing to toe party line. So will Taylor Royal: Per Robynn Tysver / World-Herald staff writer:...

Now Mello is saying what we want to hear er I mean he is saying that the Street Car is not a wise use of our money :yes: He's only saying that because his political bedfellow was ousted from Midtown 2050. One second after Bernie Sanders or the next politically-connected Midtown 2050 person says a s...

Mello is a young Suttle or Fahey. Spend, spend, spend, and give in to OFD. Spend only in those areas that vote Democrat. Tax only in areas that vote republican. The Jim Suttle mantra. Mello is bringing in these national figures. This worries me that these people NEVER come for free. He will be payi...

The pot bust and the cry baby family squabbles don't exactly alarm me. Now the fact that he has a warrant out over in Iowa over a petty pot bust and he refuses to deal with it bothers me a lot. It would be ridiculously easy and cheap to go over to Iowa and deal with that pot incident. It is irrefuta...

Man....... Stothert did even worse then I thought she would. After all the name recognition and superior campaign war chest Stothert was only able to win a couple thousand more votes then Mello. You take the 10% of the voters for Taylor Royal and add them on to Mello and hes the next mayor. :yes: W...

War criminal Democrats? :roll: :koko: As above, people who vote parties. In this case the Bloc that would vote for a war criminal as long as there was a little D after their name. To wit the Dem primary where instead of Sanders, people voted for Hillary despite all of her shady baggage. You say tha...

I went and voted over lunch today. There was only 1 other person voting besides myself. I voted for Taylor Royal. I know he has no chance but he deserves a vote for getting it right. Taylor is right about the streetcar being an expensive stupid idea. Taylor is right about it be the totally bogus tha...

Patrick Ewing to coach Georgetown? This guy has a pretty gnarly reputation that you would think would make him unsuitable to be leading young college students. First there is the known fact that he cheated on his wife pretty openly for years before she finally divorced him. Then there is that infam...

Who is Taylor Royal's daddy, and why does he have so much coin to toss around? He is a financial planner with Northwestern Mutual Life. Here is his web site. http://www.scottroyal.com/ Looks like he runs the Omaha office. Most insurance offices like his get rich running what is often called the &qu...

The poll is an Internet poll based on multiple votes by mostly a local population base. It is a popularity contest, not a reflection of the subjective qualities that make a great zoo. It has been a bunch of years since I have been to the St. Louis zoo, and it was an outstanding zoo when I was there...

If there is one thing about Stothert, it's that she can't be bought. She also has gotten backing from state and city notorieties, albeit they are known Republicans and it's their duty to back fellow Republicans running for office. In contrast, Mello has people from outside Nebraska coming in to cam...

The opposition has requested empirical evidence that supports the proposed streetcar in Omaha, which we have easily provided (see above). In response, opponents refuse to even acknowledge the recent success of the comparable Kansas City streetcar line. Instead, the opposition relies on personal att...

Those pics pretty much for sure look like the store that was on 73rd & Blondo. I should be able to remember considering I played on those animals about 50 times.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're aware Royal has no sway in Sarpy or Saunders County. He looks so young I'm not sure if he even has sway at on the school playground.

Why? Seriously, why? A street car system like Prague is crowded like crazy, yet it doesn't seem to add to the value there. This system will go from downtown to UNMC shuttling back and forth. How will this add value? Please give me some actual numbers here. I am tired of fan boys' rosey scenarios. I...

Wanting an NFL team in Omaha is pretty much the only reason you need to vote against Taylor Royal. The numbers are too clear, no city benefits from such a waste. Sure you are right........but a pro NFL team sounds about 300 times more fun then a stupid streetcar in the wrong end of town. If I'm not...

Reports say Foster is coming back next year. Glad to hear, but I think most expected this since Foster isn't really projected to go high in the draft if at all. Another year of development will really help him. Can't wait to hear about Patton, but I figure it might be a month or two yet. They say i...

Isn't it correct that the First Super Target that they built was in Omaha? Correct, the one at 132nd and Maple. Joe Montana came to the opening of the Omaha store.
