Miami County

Why are we not auditing all of these counties? Like these counties that have ballooned their budgets well beyond the rate of inflation, especially in the last five, six years.

Why are they not all being audited by the state? Like, with all due respect to the state auditors, I know you guys are probably fairly busy, but it'd be nice to put you to work on behalf of the taxpayer for things like this, because nothing is a bigger, water cooler topic than, oh my gosh, can you believe my property taxes? And that's true in Wyandotte, that's true in Johnson, lesser extent, you know, Leavenworth County, going west from there to Douglas, down to Miami County.

But it's a conversation across the board.

People want to know what their money is going to and what the heck it's being spent on and why folks are getting priced out of their homes, despite the fact that these counties are collecting more money than they've ever collected.

So that's why the farmers are really screaming about these diesel prices.

local news interviewed a farmer in Miami County, Kansas.

So that's going to be near Kansas City, Kansas.

And he said, you know, farmers, we pay retail, we sell wholesale.

And if he's trying to build some separation with Trump, it may be too late.

But in Miami County, Kansas, the TV station there today is spotlighting the impact of diesel on farmers, on the local economy.

And they are giving it all kinds of bandwidth.

All of that plays in favor of the challenger, not the incumbent, no matter the party.

Uh, Doug Shane represents, uh, parts of Olathe.

Technically, he's a Miami County state senator in Kansas, but his district does go into southern Johnson County, including parts of Olathe, down to Gardner, Edgerton, and then into Louisburg as well.

So, uh, the senator kind enough to join us here on KCMO Talk Radio.

All right.

All right.

Uh, Doug Shane, good stuff.

A state senator technically out of, uh, Miami County.

That would be his home base, but his district goes, does go into southern Johnson County, including parts of Olathe, where these closures are potentially gonna be impacted ahead of next, uh, Thursday, October 1st.

Storm's coming through.

You're especially getting hit right now, uh, Johnson County down to Miami County, and moving across the state line into Jackson and Cass County.

Those storms are coming through.

Everything should be cleared out once again by 8:00, 9:00 at the absolute latest.
