A weekly podcast conversation, produced by Link 2 Lee’s Summit, highlighting local issues and people in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Host Nick Parker and guests discuss pertinent issues and topics concerning local residents and introduce listeners to some of the people who help make Lee’s Summit a vibrant community.
Jason and Nick wrap up their breakdown of ballot initiatives before next week’s election. This week, the duo discusses the two proposed amendments and one proposition centered around the legalization of medical marijuana.
Jason and Nick continue their look at the upcoming election this week with a look at how we vote for judges and walk through the field of proposed amendments to the Jackson County Charter. Once again, it’s all about process.
Jason took a vacation this week, but being the hard-working loyal sidekick he is, he took some time to pre-record an interview with representatives from local service organization, Developing Potential, inc. Development director Amy Cox and board member Bob Glaser sat down with Jason and Nick to talk about the services offered to local residents as well as some exciting growth news and how you can help them reach their goals.
They both started as band musicians. Neither planned to become teachers. They are a generation apart and first came together as teacher and student. Both spent a career conducting orchestras in the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District and the Kansas City Youth Symphony. This year, as the Lee’s Summit Symphony opens its 16th season, the two are united yet again — this time as co-conductors. This is Russ Berlin and Kirt Mosier.
As election day approaches, Jason and Nick take some time to look at Amendment 1 and how, if passed, it will effect elections, candidates and elected officials in the future. In our second segment, the duo previews this weekend’s Summit Art Fest with special guests Jody Fristoe, Barbara Neth and Phil Schmidt.
Jason and Nick start to breakdown some of the ballot issues voters will see in November and Chuck Cooper and Jon Cundiff, of Velocity Lee’s Summit, join Nick for conversation on the not-for-profit and its mission to build up and support our local entrepreneurial community.
