About this episode
In this episode, Michael dives into a scathing critique of Douglas County's free ride share program, Link on Demand. He tackles the math behind the program, revealing a six million dollar annual cost that's funded by taxpayers through multiple tax streams. Michael argues that the program's claim of self-funding is "magical thinking" and "fraud on the taxpayers." He also exposes the program's reliance on incremental spending, which falls short of covering the costs. With a sharp eye for detail, Michael breaks down the numbers and challenges the county commissioners' claims, leaving listeners questioning the true cost of this "free" service.
