The Ranch Podcast

Tom Dayley is one of three Ada County Commissioners. Ada County is revamping the Expo Idaho area to make it into a state of the art park and recreation area with the hopes that this will be a legacy recreation area on par with things like Manhattan’s Central Park. We also spoke about the different places our tax dollars go to, and what we as citizens can do if we don’t like it.

Chris Saunders is the Data Analytics and Intelligence Manager at the Ada County Sheriff Office. He also runs the implicit bias training for the office, which is delivered to both office and patrol employees. This type of training has been the subject of much misinformation and misunderstanding.

David Anderson works for American Farmland Trust and actively helps landowners voluntarily enter into agreements that prohibit development of their land in perpetuity. Development rights are naturally a valuable thing, so why a landowner would voluntarily relinquish his or her rights to develop or sell developable land has been a mystery to me. David did an amazing job of explaining not just why people would want to do this, but the huge problem we’ll be in if our Ag land continues to disappear from a municipal taxation standpoint.
