Listen "Episode 10: Your Money, Their Decisions - How Taxpayers Lost Their Voice and How We Fix It"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we dive deep into how taxpayers are being cut out of decisions they pay for. From the Emory Elementary land deal in Lakewood, to Chicago’s infamous 99-year parking meter disaster, to billions wasted at the federal level — a clear pattern emerges: taxpayers foot the bill, while insiders make the decisions.
I break down:
✔ The Emory Elementary scandal and how the appraisal was hidden
✔ How Chicago gave away generations of parking revenue for a quick cash infusion
✔ Billions of dollars wasted every year by federal agencies
✔ Why taxpayers have lost their voice in local and national decisions
✔ Real reforms that would restore transparency, accountability, and control
If you want to understand why government feels unaccountable — and what we can actually do to fix it — this episode is your roadmap.
🎧 Let’s talk taxpayer power, government transparency, and solutions that put citizens back in the driver’s seat.
