Spending priorities were front and center for the KVOE News Candidate Forum featuring Lyon County Commission Third District Republican candidates Tuesday.
When it comes to general priorities, Warren Schmidt says law enforcement and road infrastructure items are at the top his list.
Jarom Smith says any areas to trim should be limited.
Part of Tuesday’s conversation included big-ticket allocation requests from entities like Newman Regional Health, Emporia State University, Flint Hills Technical College, Ignite Emporia and others. Jon Vopat says the county should support Newman Regional Health, however…
Chris Bartel says most of these kinds of allocation requests should not be supported.
The primary election is officially two weeks away on Aug. 6, with in-office advance voting continuing weekdays through noon Aug. 5. Tuesday’s Forum audio will go into the KVOE.com Audio Vault, and a link to the story will also go into our election coverage through the KVOE.com Voter Information Guide presented by Community National Bank.
