Leland Conway is on a mission to uncover the truth behind the Louisville Metro Sewer District's (MSD) questionable spending practices. In this episode, he's joined by Councilman Anthony Piagentini, who's been a vocal critic of MSD's actions. Together, they dive into the findings of a recent audit that reveals some shocking details about the district's management.

The conversation centers around MSD's excessive spending, including a whopping $6 million in bonuses to employees for doing their jobs, vehicle stipends for senior executive staff that amount to $14,000 to $16,000 per year, and a lack of transparency in their procurement practices. The duo also discusses the district's charitable giving, specifically a $500,000 donation to the Louisville Water Foundation, where some MSD executives sit on the board. They question whether this is a case of money laundering and whether MSD is using taxpayer dollars to fund their own salaries and perks.

Councilman Piagentini shares his concerns about the district's management and the need for greater accountability. He explains that MSD's actions are not only wasteful but also unfair to taxpayers who are already paying high rates for sewer services. Leland and Anthony discuss the importance of scrutinizing MSD's spending and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are being used efficiently.

If you're as frustrated as Leland and Anthony about MSD's actions, tune in to this episode to hear the full conversation and learn more about the issues at hand. They'll be discussing the audit's findings, the implications for taxpayers, and what needs to be done to bring about change.

Leland Conway is back with a thought-provoking discussion on the homelessness crisis in Louisville, Kentucky. He shares his personal experiences working with homeless individuals in San Diego and highlights the need for a more effective approach to addressing the issue. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of homelessness and the potential solutions that could make a real difference.

The speaker delves into the WDRB investigative story on whether there are fewer homeless people in Louisville or if they're just hiding. He argues that the answer is both, and that the state law passed in 2024 has led to a decrease in visible homelessness, but not necessarily a decrease in the number of people in crisis. Leland also shares his own experiences working with homeless individuals in San Diego, where he found that many people were choosing to be homeless due to their addiction or mental health issues.

The conversation touches on the idea that the homelessness industry has become a lucrative business, with many organizations profiting from the problem rather than working to solve it. Leland proposes a three-door approach to addressing homelessness: jail, help, or get out. He argues that this approach would give individuals a choice and provide a path forward for those who are willing to take it.

If you're interested in learning more about Leland's three-door approach and how it could make a real difference in addressing the homelessness crisis, tune in to this episode to hear his thought-provoking discussion.

In a shocking move, a pastor in Ohio has announced that he's married to two women, both of whom are also ministers in the church. The news has sparked a heated debate about polygamy and the role of women in the church. But is this unconventional arrangement a sign of a larger issue with the church's leadership, or just a clever PR move?

This episode delves into the world of polygamy and the complexities of human relationships. The speaker discusses the biblical context of polygamy, citing the Old Testament's rules on marriage and the concept of "polygyny" - a type of polygamy where one man has multiple wives. But what does this mean for modern-day relationships and the expectations placed on women? The speaker also touches on the idea that men and women are designed to get on each other's nerves, but somehow manage to put those frustrations aside to fall in love and procreate.

The conversation also explores the role of women in the church and the expectations placed on them. The speaker asks a thought-provoking question: would women want a second husband, or would they prefer to deal with just one partner? And what about the logistics of having two wives - how would they handle everyday decisions like where to eat or how to manage household chores?

Tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's take on these complex issues and join the conversation about what it means to be a woman in the church.
