On this week's episode of Statehouse Blend Kansas, House Speaker nominee Ron Ryckman (R-Olathe) talks about school funding, taxes, and what he expects from the upcoming session.

Guests:

  • Ron Ryckman, Speaker of the House (R-Olathe), House of Representatives
  • Amy Jeffries, Kansas Elections Editor, KCUR
As KCUR’s metro reporter, I hold public officials accountable. Are cities spending your tax money wisely? Are police officers and other officials acting properly? I will track down malfeasance by seeking open records and court documents, and by building relationships across the city. But I also need you — email me with any tips at sam@kcur.org, find me on Twitter @samzeff or call me at 816-235-5004.
No matter what happens in Washington D.C., Kansas City needs KCUR. And KCUR needs you.
