81. “Taxpayer money isn’t red, it isn’t blue, taxpayer money is green” - with Dan Smith, candidate for Douglas County Treasurer

Hi! What a sh*t week for news! Let’s vote in some good people, shall we? My guest today is Dan Smith, candidate for Douglas County treasurer. What does a county treasurer do? Why is it important? Dan will explain it all, including why the county waiving $19 million in taxes for a data center probably should have had more public input and input from other Douglas County elected officials. If you’re a money nerd or not, this episode is for all who want transparency.

Check out candidate Dan Smith’s tax transparency tool and see how your property taxes compare to other taxpayers in Douglas County.
