Edwardsville

Next up in our six at six, let's go to the Kansas Starbond District, officially revealed by the Kansas Department of Commerce.

It goes from KCK down to Edwardsville, Bonner Springs, Shawnee, Lenexa, and all the way down to Olathe at like 169th and Ridgeview.

Because, yes, that part of town is going to have a major impact by the stadium up in KCK, right? Come on.

Enough.

Uh, Michael Johnson resigned because he was the guy that was actually reading the contract and saying, "Hey, we need to put the brakes on this." And, uh, so he resigned, and now they're looking for a new county administrator.

Now, one thing I find interesting is that, uh, the mayor, you had the mayor of Edwardsville on the other day.

Yes, we did.

And now y- you're starting to hear talk, talk of audits of the unified government right when, uh, Crystal Watson's about this.

That's a great call.

Thank you for making it.

I, um, I, I look at last week, we had on the Edwardsville mayor, Carolyn Kehar, who also is a state rep for the district where the stadium's going to go in Wyandotte County, and she has been pushing for this audit for a very long time.

Um, they're moving ahead, obviously, with that.

What?

An, an audit was requested by the mayor in Edwardsville.

Uh, she and other residents of smaller Wyandotte County communities are concerned they're not getting their fair share of unified government tax dollars.

Says Frank Ramirez, the former chief of staff for KCK Mayor Crystal Watson, "I do think they should be concerned." He said Wyandotte County residents living outside KCK expressed those same concerns to Watson on the campaign trail.
