9:05 – 9:22 (17mins)  David Stokes / Show-Me Institute,

David Stokes to discuss:
1) St. Louis County and St. Charles County Budget Issues: St. Louis County Council has proposed roughly $55 million in cuts as it works to close an $81 million deficit, raising questions about priorities, transparency, and long-term fiscal planning. David can also compare this with St. Charles County’s budget, which has been described as a “budget of take-aways,” and explain what these approaches mean for taxpayers, public services, and public trust.
2) Stokes’ New Paper on Parks and Recreation: David has a new report out, A Free-Market Guide for Missouri Municipalities, Part Four: Parks and Recreation. He can walk through how cities should think about funding parks and recreational assets, when user fees make more sense than general taxes, and how outsourcing, contracting, and service sharing can reduce costs and improve service quality, while avoiding taxpayer-funded facilities that compete with the private sector.
