On June 2nd, 2007, at 6:30 p.m.,18-year-old Kelsey Smith went to the local Target in Overland Park, Kansas, to buy a gift for her boyfriend, John. Kelsey had just graduated from High School days earlier, was planning on going to Kansas State University in the fall, and was planning on studying veterinary medicine. She and John had been dating for about six months.Once inside the Target store, she called her mom, Missy to ask where she might find gift wrap. Missy told her and Kelsey hung up the phone. At 7:30 John showed up at her house to take Kelsey on a date but Kelsey still was not home. Concerned, her father Greg and sister Lindsay set out to look for her. Eventually, at around 10 p.m. that evening, the worried father and sister found her car parked across the street from the Target at a Macy's store. There was still no sign of Kelsey.Until June 6th, in a wooded area some 20 miles away in Grandview, Missouri, two hikers found her body. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled with her own belt. What transpired to determine her killer would involve a non-cooperative phone company, more than 40 surveillance cameras, and one incredible citizen tipster. Show Notes:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4219070/

Summer In the Psalms: Psalm 85- Veach Psalm 85 Luke 11:1-13

   After the Kansas Board of Regents ordered all DEI eliminated from state universities there was still a question if KU would try to resist the directive.  But on Tuesday, KU Chancellor Doug Girod issued a memo to all employees emphatically directing them to dump pronouns and a whole bunch of other crazy stuff by July 31.  What a great day for KU!    Tariff deals are in place now with the Philippines and Japan.  The deal with Japan is massive and unprecedented and the Philippines deal is gloriously lopsided in the favor of USA.      Trump unloaded on Barack Hussein Obama Tuesday indicating he's guilty of treason and every other word you can think of and they have Obama "stone cold."   Well, there's no backing off this now.    ESPN has started its football coverage, normally very good, in terrible fashion.  We have examples featuring the Chiefs and Cowboys.    Adam Sandler is starring in Happy Gilmore 2 beginning Friday on Netflix and had some really great comments about Travis Kelce in the movie.    Salvy's two home runs Monday night have a really great side story as he took two boys out of the stands after the game and gave them bats.  They were boys he didn't know and this story is the stuff of legend.    The two candidates running for Mayor of Overland Park both indicate the Royals at 119th and Nall is unwanted by their residents.  One candidate goes as far as to say over 95% of people in the area hate it.   And our Final Final is the SMU football coach blasting the SEC.

From 2021 – 2023, Manhattan, Overland Park, and Wichita appeared to use most of their transient guest tax revenue appropriately, but a small portion was inappropriate or unclear. Kansas statute allows cities and counties to charge guests at hotels or other short-term lodgings a tax (called a transient guest tax), which local governments can then use to fund tourism-related expenditures. Most cities with a transient guest tax charge more than the 2% rate in statute because they use the home rule provision in the Kansas Constitution to exempt themselves. The 3 cities we reviewed spent transient guest revenues differently from 2021 to 2023 but most of their spending appeared to be appropriate. All 3 cities used transient guest tax revenues to pay the local convention and visitors bureaus to promote tourism. All 3 cities appeared to use transient guest tax revenues to finance tourism and convention related bonds. Wichita appeared to use transient guest tax revenues to maintain and operate existing tourism facilities. Manhattan and Wichita used transient guest tax revenues on direct grants or sponsorships for tourism. In 2023, Manhattan transferred $100,000 of its transient guest tax revenue to the general fund, but we could not determine if it was used appropriately because of a lack of documentation. Wichita spent $16,000 of guest tax revenue from 2021 – 2023 to cover city administrative and audit fees, which is inappropriate because the expenses are not related to tourism and conventions. Finally, we also found a difference between certain definitions in Wichita's transient guest tax ordinances and state law. As a result, since 1992, KDOR may have collected and Wichita may have received transient guest tax revenues from guests at some hotels and other lodging entities that aren't authorized in Wichita's charter ordinance. 

Two guests joined the podcast to talk about the their transition from the Fire Department to the City Manager's Office. Bryan Dehner is the Assistant City Manager at the City of Overland Park, Kansas and Donna Lake is the Assistant City Manager at City of Lee's Summit, Missouri. They shared how they facilitated the transition, how the departments operate differently, and the importance of working regionally. Host: Lauren Palmer

   Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe is headed to NKC Friday to support the new sports authority in Clay County, this is a huge sign of support for the Royals new ballpark being built there.  Meanwhile, Chiefs president Mark Donovan makes another comment suggesting the team has it's eyes on a new stadium in Kansas.    It's been a wild 48 hours after my comments about Patrick Mahomes vacation photos buried 34 minutes deep into Monday's pod.  We appreciate Fox News for actually listening to what I said and getting the story right while everyone else wildly overreacted.  But hey, this is perfect.  I'm serious, the team can make me the bad guy if they want.  Even Mayor Q is piling on.    The Boys are playin' Some Ball again as the Royals have won 5 of 6.  The Big 12 commish drops an incredible stat about the league's QB's and gushes face to face with Avery Johnson on a hot mic.    In DC, an investigation into Russia, Russia, Russia is starting, Trump takes a grandfather clock from the State Department to the White House, Mars candy pushes back against RFK Jr and Overland Park is breaking the bank on a new City Hall.  

The Trump administration proposed slashing billions of dollars from federal health agencies, but a high school student from Overland Park has been pushing lawmakers to preserve cancer research funding. Plus, we remember a beloved Kansas City singer who died after a long battle with cancer.
