2:35
Canaan County Commissioner Lance Wheeler is going to be stopping by. Let me welcome
2:38
in first thing this morning, though I debitly get in Canada for governor more
2:42
Capital. Good morning, sir, Welcome to the show, and let me
2:44
wish you and yours a very happy holiday season. Merry Christmas. Dave.
2:47
It's great to be with you. Thank you for having me on, thank
2:50
you for being here. And I know you've been doing a lot of traveling
2:53
around the state, as have all the incubernatorial candidates. When you go and
2:57
but when you go out to speak more to a group of people and you
3:00
can name the group or the community. Knowing that the Republican voters are faced
3:05
with a tough decision come next May yourself, Attorney General Patrick Morrissey, Chris
3:09
Miller, Secretary of Saint Mike Warner, what do you what do you tell
3:15
those voters that you hope to accomplish if elect a governor because they've got a
3:19
choice to make. They've got some good Republicans running there. You probably admit
3:23
that as well. What do you tell them? Well, let me start
3:24
by saying that the first thing we do any place we go is listen.
3:29
You had asked me what I would sort of talk to them about. I
3:32
sort of prefer to lead with my ears. As you know, we talk
3:36
about this all the time on your show and we've done it throughout the campaign,
3:42
that I'm to get it done conservative in this race. And what that
3:45
means is for the people of West Virginia, this is about having somebody as
3:50
their next leader that has a proven track record of getting things done that have
3:54
really moved the needle. When you look at where we are as a state
3:58
in West Virginia, We've got really great momentum. We've turned massive budget deficits
4:03
into surpluses. We've been able to pass the largest tax relief package in the
4:11
history of the state of West Virginia. As chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
4:15
I was at the tip of the spear in passing the most conservative agenda in
4:18
the history of the state. So really the difference is when the people of
4:24
West Virginia look at the choices that they have, is do we want somebody
4:30
that has the energy and the grit and the record of bringing people together,
4:33
building consensus and delivering to solve the issues that make all of our community stronger.
4:42
You said, you go out more and you listen to people. Okay,
4:46
that's always That's always a good thing to do. What are they telling
4:49
you at the end of the day, Dave, I think you know,
4:54
West Virginia is such a special place. No matter where you go, whether
5:00
you're in southern West Virginia or you're in along the Ohio Valley or in the
5:05
Northern Panhand or the Eastern Panhand or somewhere in between. People have their regional
5:12
concerns, regional successes, regional struggles, of course, but there is this
5:17
underpinning that we have in West Virginia, this sort of community and cultural and
5:23
family value system that runs through our bloodline here in West Virginia. And as
5:30
a lifelong West Virginia and as a father of two children, I can tell
5:35
you that many of the concerns and many of the things that I want to
5:40
see in West Virginia are similar to those that so many West Virginians want to
5:45
see. We want good roads to be able to travel to and from a
5:49
good paying job. We want good educational opportunities for our children so that they
5:56
can have the opportunity to make the choice someday to stay in West Virginia.
6:00
As I mentioned, I've got two young kids, and I want them to
6:02
just have a choice. I want them to have a choice when they're looking
6:05
at what to do and where to raise their families, that they can look
6:09
at West Virginia and say, I have every opportunity right here. And if
6:13
we give them that opportunity, I'm fully confident that they'll make the choice to
6:16
stay. Because we want to be around our family, We want to have
6:21
the safest communities in the country. Dave, I talk about this all the
6:26
time. We have the opportunity and a sticky proposition here in West Virginia with
6:31
low cost of living, low density housing. You want to live in the
6:35
mountains, you want to live on the water, you want to work with
6:38
your hands in the office, remote, all of these different options. But
6:43
we have safe communities here in West Virginia, and we need to double down
6:46
on that. We need to make sure that our police and our firefighters have
6:49
the resources that they need because people will come to where there are safe communities
6:55
because that's where they want to raise their children. Talk about how okay,
6:59
we talked about how you get people to stay. How do we get people
7:01
to move into West Virginia because we've got to we can't sustain all these All
7:05
these things are great that's gone on the legislature from New Core and all these
7:10
other jobs, but we need people to be willing to move here as well.
7:14
How do we market West Virginia to look at these people, younger people,
7:16
which is what we want, you know, to come in. How
7:18
do we look at them and say, okay, you need to come to
7:20
West Virginia. May not have ties here, but we need you here.
7:24
Absolutely. I think it's a great question, you know, Dave, I
7:26
come from a generation that's been lost in West Virginia and I've stayed and the
7:31
future of this state is deeply personal to me. And one of the reasons
7:36
that it's so personal to me is because we need to bridge the gap of
7:42
that generation that we've lost, and the way that we do that is bring
7:45
people here to West Virginia. We've started doing that through taking great ideas and
7:49
turning them into good policy, particularly as it relates to our tax policy.
7:55
When people look at places where they want to go, they look at the
7:58
personal income tax. We've low that we have triggers in place to continue to
8:01
reduce the personal income tax in the state of West Virginia. We have to
8:07
expand our educational opportunities. Of course, that means providing parents with more choices.
8:11
That means providing more resources in the classroom for our teachers so that they
8:18
can continue to inspire our children, lowering that class size so we can have
8:22
more specialized attention on our students. Those are the things. It's not a
8:28
complicated structure, but we just have to make sure that the structure is in
8:33
place to support that growth. And we have to go out and tell our
8:37
story. I mean, I'm a guy that goes out every day and talks
8:41
about how incredible this place that we have is. We have so many opportunities
8:46
here and outside of all of the things that I just mentioned, we have
8:50
the natural bounty to grow and that's what we need to market. That means
8:56
our natural resources and our fossil fuels and what sits underneath our feet, but
9:01
that also means what's above that ground. The beautiful trees, the water,
9:05
the mountains, all of these things are what people are looking for. Space
9:09
to move around, places to recreate. All of those things. We need
9:13
to take to the rest of the country and to the rest of the world,
9:16
and we're starting to see it as an effective strategy under Governor Justice,
9:22
He's done a great job and we're ready to take that to the next level.

9:39
What was your takeaway from the almost hesitate to call it a debate.
9:43
But the set down that you had in Morgantown with Hoppy a couple of weeks
9:46
ago, yourself and Mac Warner and Chris Miller are taking part in that.
9:50
Attorney General Patrick Morrissey was not. What was your takeaway from that and were
9:52
you bothered by the fact that Patrick Morrisey wasn't there. This was the biggest
9:56
you know, this is the biggest interview that I think any of the candidates
10:01
will will endeavor to take on, at least to this point. And I
10:05
say interview because it's an opportunity for West Virginians to get to know the person
10:11
that they want to lead this state. Last week, when we sat down,
10:18
how to sit down? That makes me sound like when I was like
10:20
a kid, I was in trouble. I sit down, But yeah,
10:24
I got called up. UH it was. It was a great environment to
10:30
be able to discuss important issues that are facing UH West Virginians. We felt
10:35
very good about how it went. Obviously, we talked about our plan to
10:41
increase educational opportunities. We talked about our plan to build UH more infrastructure and
10:46
better opportunities for the communities that need that critical infrastructure. We talked about UH
10:52
taxes and all sorts of things. And again this is an interview, and
10:56
so the more opportunities that the people of West Virginia have to get to know
11:01
us, the better. But what I can tell you is, having driven
11:03
sixty thousand miles plus over the course of this campaign, we are showing up
11:09
to every community, driving to every community because we want to be able to
11:13
talk to the voters face to face and know what's going on in their lives
11:18
and at their kitchen tables. Because I can tell you I have a kitchen
11:22
table at home and we talk about what's going on in our lives, and
11:24
I want to know what's going on in all West Virginians live. You know
11:28
more. West Virginia is doing pretty well right now, but it's not perfect.
11:33
A very very very broad question here, but do you have a plan
11:37
or a plan of attack when it comes to some of these problems with like
11:39
DHHR and corrections and nopioids. I know you can't answer that with ninety seconds,
11:45
but I mean, do you have a basic idea of how you start
11:48
if you're like to governor on day one on how to address some of these
11:50
wells has to get it done? Conservative it's all about number one, listening,
11:54
it's bringing people together, and then it's executing on a plan. You
11:58
talked about places in the state that probably aren't feeling as good. We've had
12:01
some good wins, as you mentioned with newcre and Procter and Gamble and some
12:05
of the investments we've seen around the state. We have to focus on what
12:09
the problems are regionally and what the needs are for growth. When you go
12:13
to southern West Virginia, we have to we have to continue to build on
12:16
some of our roadways down there. We know on the Gorge, for instance,
12:20
we need some of our critical infrastructure like sewage and water. When you
12:24
go to the eastern Panhandle, we need more. We need to widen our
12:26
roads so we can sort of relieve the traffic that's up there with the growth
12:31
that we're seeing in that part of the world. Some of the broadband spots
12:35
that we're seeing that are blanks still need filled in. So these are regional
12:39
issues and I can talk about it because I've been there, and that's exactly
12:43
what we're going to do. We're going to look at each part of West
12:46
Virginia as as a unique opportunity to build because we have so much to offer,
12:52
and I'm committed to telling that story. What makes more Capital the best
12:58
candidate for the next governor West Virginian? And you kind of touched on it
13:01
a little bit early, but I'm maybe give another chance to close it out
13:03
with this, just as as you're plead to the people of West Virginia,
13:05
they're going to be facing in this Republican primary, you know yourself and three
13:11
others, and of course there's also another Republican, there's a Libertarian. It's
13:16
going to be in and get her scheduled at some point. What makes more
13:20
Capital the best of the bunch, Thanks Dave. I'm a West Virginian for
13:24
West Virginia. I'm a lifelong West Virginia. I'm the father of two children.
13:28
I'm living what so many West Virginians are living right now, trying to
13:33
raise a family right here, trying to bring young people to West Virginia,
13:39
trying to grow an economy where we have new opportunities, where we sustain the
13:45
opportunities that we have, and where we create a twenty first century hub for
13:50
new opportunities so people can live, work, raise a family, and ultimately
13:56
retire in this beautiful place that we all call home. I'm someone that has
14:01
gotten it done. I'm going to get it done conservative, I will continue
14:03
to get it done because I've gotten it done. The elegant and Canda forgot
14:07
it the more capital. I appreciate you being here. Where can people learn

Capito in the Republican primary, not because I like him, but because he's
17:29
the least smelliest blank of the pile. But then I'm voting for Steve Williams.
17:33
Steve Williams for governor reference to the Huntington mayor who is on He's running
17:38
as on the Democrat side. Texas. One thing people aren't looking for,
17:42
especially women is a Christian law based government. Let's not turn West Virginia into
17:48
a Christian Iran. Okay they Okay, was them? That wasn't editural comment
17:53
on my part. Texas More Capitol is anti public education. He's part of
17:57
the women haters club, wants to do away police and fired unions and says
18:00
the unions are burden on government. Then I'll hear you say that, but
18:07
maybe said it somewhere else. Bringing Allen Allen for West Virginia's for affordable healthcare,
18:11
Allen, no relation, Good morning, welcome to the show. I'm
18:15
great. You never know you know you have any ties to southern West Virginia
18:19
and all you've ever been. I grew up in Mercer County. Okay,
18:22
well that's really southern West Virginia. That's more southern than Logan County it is.
18:27
How'd you end up here? If you don't mind my asking. I
18:30
fell in love and came to work here, and I've been here in April
18:33
b fourteen years. Okay, yeah, all right, where else have you
18:36
been? I grew up in Mercer County, spent a lot of time in
18:40
Louisbourg, Love Greenberg County. It's beautiful mating, lovely, really great friends,
18:45
and that's where I shifted to really wanting to spend my work in the
18:48
nonprofit sector. So it's been really good. Well, welcome here because you
18:52
do some good, great things here. And a happy holiday season as well
18:55
to you. Happy winster. Oh yeah it is. I've a dark at
18:59
three o'clock. Well, I think I said winter officially kicks in like at
19:03
ten o'clock tonight. Yeah, I'll be asleep. I want to see it.
19:07
You wanted to come on all to talk about this new law that many
19:11
may not know about. And again I got information in front of me.
19:15
But if I get anything wrong, jump in and correct me. That it
19:18
caps out of pocket cost for insulin at thirty five dollars a month as I
19:23
understand it, and various other diabetic supplies at one hundred dollars a month.
19:27
Now the law kicks in January first, Is that right? That's correct?
19:30
Talk about the road to get to this point. Yeah, I'm glad you
19:34
put it that way, because you know it has been a long road.
19:37
You know, many people organizations started working on nationally, and you know it
19:42
was kept for Medicare, but you know West Virginians wanted to do more for
19:47
West Virginians, right, So it kind of started in Barbara Flyshower got this
19:52
group of West Virginians together to highlight the cost, the crazy cost of insulin.
19:57
She took a bustlet of people to Canada to buy insulin at a fraction
20:02
of the cost of what it is in the state. So that really kicked
20:04
off a big educational piece, and then many afacy organizations worked with legislators and
20:11
Senate Bill five seventy seven was pasted and it'll become effective January first, and
20:17
it is a big deal. I mean, cappying insulin costs at thirty five
20:21
dollars a month, and a key piece of that is an aggregate cost because
20:23
as I understand and this is this is something I learned that's going to new
20:27
is many diabetics may take more than one type of insulin, so it doesn't
20:33
camp it for like each insulin. It's aggregate. So well that means is
20:37
if they take two or three, that still still thirty five dollars a month
20:41
a month. Yeah. Now, and we're leading the country and there's some
20:45
other states you're doing that I think maybe five, but they're capping it at
20:48
one hundred dollars a month, so we're cappying it at thirty five. So
20:52
it's I think that's such a big achievement for West Virginia's I mean, we
20:56
leave the country and the rate of diabetes, I think two hundred and forty
20:59
thousand West Virginians have it. We also know we don't have great data on
21:03
children and youth as far as diabetes concerned, but we do know it's another
21:07
area where West Virginians lead the nation and youth obesity and being a wait,
21:14
something like thirty five point five percent of West Virginia youth are either in the
21:18
obese or overweight categorgory, which leads to pre diabetes, which leads to diabetes.
21:23
So this kind have a significant impact on the income and family households.
21:30
We all know we need to have health care. Affordable healthcare doesn't help to
21:33
have it if you can't afford it, right, So this is a big
21:37
deal. We're really excited about it. And again this went through the legislature
21:41
and without much of a hitch, right, So, I mean, so
21:45
this took people, Republicans and Democrats working together on this. I'm glad you
21:51
brought that up too, because I think there's a misconception. There's a lot
21:53
of consensus around getting healthcare to West Virginians. We see both parties working hard
22:00
to make sure all West Virginians have access to healthcare, and I, you
22:03
know, I look for us to continue to work to make that better every
22:07
every day, every year. In our work again, we're talking with Ellen
22:11
Allen from West Virginians for Affordable Healthcare Dave Allence showing five eighty live brought to
22:15

22:22
Brightway the Maze Agency will customize that perfect insurance plan for you. At
22:26
Brightway the Maze Agency, they are just agentcy of your friends and neighbors called
22:29
John and Sherry Mays today three zero four eight one four two five zero night
22:33
evers Brightwaymaids dot Com. Your group, Ellen, West Virginians for Affordable Healthcare
22:37
has sort of an educational campaign going on to tell folks about this. Uh
22:41
So it's a big part of it. I mean, it doesn't do any
22:44
good to have this law passed and put this in effective. People don't know
22:48
about it. So you're appearing on shows like this and doing you know,
22:51
radio and television and so on, and so we're trying to trying to get
22:56
the word out talking about that. Yeah, we're like getting radios, you
22:59
know ready doing up eds. We have a beautiful package of social media graphics
23:07
that we've shared free with the public, and that's getting We're seeing that circulating
23:11
around you Facebook and Instagram. And it's really interesting too because I looked at
23:15
the comments under one of the graphics and somebody said, well, that would
23:19
be great if that were true, And I often don't comment by me.
23:23
I said, this is true. It's truly And I know that's important because
23:26
I know when we passed a Medicaid expansion under the ACA, and I was
23:30
working at Covenant House then and we signed up over three hundred people who never
23:36
had healthcare in their life, and they didn't believe us until that card came
23:38
in. So this is real. If you're rashing, here's what I'd like
23:41
people to hear. If you're rationing your insulin because you have to make it
23:45
last longer, that means I know you aren't feeling well. You're actually it
23:49
could be endanger in your life if depending on how you're rationing it. You
23:53
no longer have to do that. Effective January one, when you go to
23:57
your pharmacist, you're going to be capped at thirty five dollars a month.
24:02
So please believe it. It's true. And the cost of health care in
24:08
America, I mean, and this is not anything that we're kind of geting
24:12
all subject here a little bit, but the cost of health care. I
24:15
mean, a simple health flight if you're you know, Heaven forbidden in a
24:19
car accident. You know, no matter what the medication is that you need,
24:25
getting beyond diabetes anything else. I mean, it's really really through the
24:29
roof. It's through the roof, and it just gets worse every year and
24:32
outpaces inflation every single year. And how did we get to that position?
24:36
Though? I mean, look, you know, people know me to listen
24:38
to show all the time. I always say I'm the ultimate capitalist, and
24:41
I get that, and I understand that, But how did we get to
24:44
this point Ellen that it is so dang expensive for this stuff? Well,
24:52
I think, and you know, I'm I come from the capitalist sector sector
24:55
too, and I'm not opposed to that, but I think we've gone so
25:00
far in a profit margin versus looking at okay, how can we not how
25:08
can we have healthcare? Whether it's drugs and therapies that bring enough profit to
25:17
keep people inventing, researching new therapies, new drugs, but also that makes
25:22
it affordable. I mean it's their record profits and pharmaceutical industries. They have
25:26
the strongest lobbyists of any lobbyist. So that's how I think we see a
25:33
lot of these drugs continuing to increase. It wasn't until recently that could even
25:37
negotiate drug prices on Medicare. I mean, what's more American than negotiating on
25:44
anything? Right, Why shouldn't we be able to negotiate on behalfs of tens
25:48
of millions of Americans? They're drug prices. We can make drugs affordable and
25:52
people, organizations corporations can make a profit too, And that's how it should
25:57
be. But you know, maybe it has to be reeled in a little
26:00
bit where it's affordable for everybody and worth their while to do the work.
26:07
That's a good point because when you go to buy an audiblebile, you know
26:10
you don't most people don't look at the sticker price and go okay, I'll
26:12
take it. There's a little bit of negotiation, you know, back and
26:17
forth and so on and so forth. I know that you spend your time
26:19
in advocacy, Ellen, but and maybe the guinness is something that's a little
26:23
bit out of out out of your ballpark, certainly out of mind. But
26:27
how how do we get people not to have to rely so much on diabetic
26:33
medications? I mean, I know you're about affordable health care, but a
26:37
lot of this is is preventable. So much of it is preventable. I
26:41
mean, is there is there an education aspect? I mean, people know
26:45
what they eat and what they do is bad. But how do we try
26:48
to go about fixing this? I guess I should. There's a lot of
26:51
people working hard on this, and a lot of foundations that are supporting organizations
26:56
even around oral health and how that can ear early in life contribute to a
27:02
chance of becoming a diabetic. So you know, activity, good nutrition,
27:07
you know, despite that, some people still do get diabetes later in life.
27:14
So you know, it's a combination of how we eat, how we
27:18
move. It's all kind of wrapped up. But that doesn't always mean you
27:23
won't become diabetic. It certainly does. Wait control genetics and genetics. But
27:29
the best thing we can do is move, eat well and hopefully have a
27:34
genetic predisposition that you're less likely to get that. So let's kind of review
27:40
just a little bit. So what you're saying is is the effect of January.
27:42
First, these diabetes medications have been capped at thirty five dollars, and
27:48
it doesn't matter whether you're on one or two or three, it's still capped
27:52
at thirty five dollars. And a lot of the other supplies that go along
27:53
with your capped as well. Yes, and they're capped at one hundred,
27:56
so the supplies that go with that. Is there a place online where people
28:00
could go and learn more? Do you have this information available on your website
28:03
or your social media? Yes, look at our social media. If you're
28:04
following our Facebook page, we're putting up a lot of information. We're writing

33:25
Lance Wheeler's here, Cannan County Commissioner. How are you, sir?
33:29
Doing well? How are you doing day? I am doing fine. Thank
33:30
you for being here. I hope you're having a wonderful Christmas season so far
33:37
as I channel my enter Paul McCartney there, I hope you're having a great,
33:39
wonderful, wonderful Christmas time. Well, you know, as a native
33:42
of Kennell County, I don't think I've seen the Christmas spirit here in Kennall
33:45
County this big ever. I mean, there's so many events going on,
33:49
there's so many things. People are putting lights in their houses. This is
33:52
something that we didn't see a couple of years ago. So, I mean,
33:54
this is just absolutely wonderful. Let's talk about some of these things going
33:58
on. I mean, you know, you get to Holly Jolly Brawley and
34:00
you've got what's going on over there at the at Gomart Ballpark with the Slangle
34:06
Law light the night. It's a it's a pretty festive place here. The
34:09
Kanah Valley Commissioner. Yeah, I mean there's events going on everywhere. Big
34:14
kudos to Mayor Goodwin and her team. I think they've done an excellent job
34:17
there on Capitol Street and Slack Plaza putting all these events together. You know,
34:22
my wife and our two year old daughter, we've been able to experience
34:24
some of those events, you know, with her, and to have that
34:29
opportunity here in this community, I think it's just fabulous. You know.
34:31
I saw a report recently that Kanawha County Commission is going to be updating their
34:37
emergency radio systems. So so talk about that. Yeah, this is the
34:42
why is it needed? Well, it's it's absolutely needed. And this is
34:45
the discussions that are always boring to some people, right, but it's important,
34:49
you know. So it's it's only boring until it happens to you,
34:52
exactly and you're in then then deciddenly becomes important, but exactly, and so
34:57
Kanal County is actually in a very special place to the fact that we own
35:00
seven of our radio towers here in the county for our EMS and metronomal one.
35:06
That's important because a lot of counties and other areas, even outside the
35:09
state, they lease these towers and they pay a monthly fee every month.
35:14
It gets very expensive. So the Kenaal County Commission bought these towers and we
35:19
own them. However, as you know, when you own something, you're
35:22
responsible for the operation of maintenance, and we're getting to that point now where
35:27
we need to have those discussions. These towers were built back in the nineteen
35:30
seventies and some things don't last forever. No, and some of your listeners
35:34
might be looking at their cell phone right now and going, you know,
35:37
this phone's not being as fast as it once was just a couple of years
35:40
ago. Well, imagine this technology. So the Canaal kunt Of Commission,
35:44
through our Emergency Management and Metronomum one, we got staff to look into our
35:49
towers and how we can upgrade them be state of the art. We were
35:52
in touch with a company called Xtron, and essentially, in Layman's terms,
35:57
this is digitizing these towers, making them more efficient and making them cleaner,
36:01
and also being able to expand the range that they can have for our first
36:07
responders who are trying to communicate with each other, communicate with Metro namb one
36:10
are you know, telecommunicators trying to dispatch these These conversations that they have are
36:16
very vital in that it's seconds matter, and we need to make sure these
36:21
messages are clear, that you can hear them over a radio. I mean,
36:24
Dave, you've probably listened to a scanner before, and sometimes they come
36:28
mumbled and it's it's it's reverb and it's it's difficult to hear. They struggle
36:34
with that here in Kanall County, and we want to make sure that we
36:36
do something that we can improve. Xetron's telling us that they can make these
36:40
the voice clear, they can make these messages clear, and that we can
36:44
actually expand the range in some of these what us West Virginia's called hallers.
36:50
Indeed, And I don't think sometimes people realize how big of a county Kanaha
36:54
County is. I mean it's I mean geographically speaking, I mean you go
37:00
from you know, Campbell's Creek to Saint Albans too. I mean it's it's
37:04
a pretty down through mar mattin that way. It's a pretty big county.
37:07
Well, you know, and z Tron, who we've hired as our consultants
37:09
for this. They said the same thing. They said, you know,
37:12
you are in a very special topography in the fact that you have very urban
37:15
cities like Saint Albans Charleston, you know, but you also have these royal
37:21
areas with this, you know, these mountains and these valleys, and so
37:24
we have to be very precise of where these towers are, what type of
37:29
bandwidth they're producing, and making sure that we're able to not just get clear
37:31
messages on the streets of Charleston for our police departments, fire departments, but
37:37
also being able to have the range to go into a valley where there's you
37:40
know, a little haller of three houses, and you know, this is
37:44
how it all started. Our volunteer fire departments came to us and said,
37:46
hey, we're running some fire calls and we can't hear Metro. They can
37:51
hear us, but we can't hear them, and that's dangerous right there.
37:54
We don't want a situation where they're calling for backup because the fire is out
37:58
of control, but met nine one one can't hear them. Those are now
38:01
those are very small meniscal areas, but we don't want those happen at all.
38:06
So what we're told is that with this new stated art technology of upgrading
38:09
our radio towers, we're going to be able to expand that out and actually
38:14
be able to make sure that those calls are coming in. What kind of
38:16
timeline are we looking at for this Commissioner, Well, so this is going
38:20
to be eighteen months the knin kunt of commission Mentioner car Purslango myself. We're
38:24
still discussing it. You know, the biggest issue here, and it's always
38:28
the bigger issue with a project, is the price tag. You know,
38:30
we're told that over five years this is going to cost us three million dollars.
38:34
That's a lot of money. We need to figure out where that money
38:37
is going to come from. My suggestion would be our public safety grant money,
38:40
which we have that money because the voters have year in, year out
38:45
voted for our special levy that we use to go just to first responders.
38:50
But we can maybe use that money to make the initial payments. But this
38:53
is a project that we have to do because right now we're lucky. You
38:58
know, ninety nine percent of the calls coming in have been clear, but
39:00
it's that one percent that we're worried about and we don't want to put any
39:04
of our first responders in a situation where they're in they're in danger and we
39:08
can't communicate with them that one percent means may not in a big picture of
39:12
things, Commissioner, seem like a lot, But when it's your grandmother,
39:15
when it's your kid, it's a totally different story. When it's your when
39:19
it's your your brother who's a police officer, when it's your uncle who is
39:22
a fire department in the fire department, you know, it's more. It's
39:25
very important that we make sure these conversations are had through nine one one.
39:29
But making sure that the first responders hear the message, they understand it,
39:32
and they can call in for backup if they needed. That's what's important for
39:37
this and this is why we have put so much effort into looking into this,
39:40
and I think that this is something that we need to do. You
39:44
know, unfortunately that price tag is high. But if we don't do this
39:46
now, what happens next year when a call can't be made through metronymal one
39:52
and somebody gets hurt or even worse death. Yeah, talking to an ANAY
39:55
Commissioner Lance Wheeler, it's about thirteen minutes now before ten o'clock. Commissioner,
40:00
it's the Christmas weekend. Well, we're from the looks of my drive in
40:06
from Day's Valley this morning, I think some people are already off because there
40:08
was in the heck of a lot of traffic out this morning. It's only
40:10
going to increase. But that means there's more I mean by that, I
40:14
mean there's always many people going to work. They're still going to be out
40:15
on the roads, of course, and the way the calendar falls this year
40:19
over the weekend kind of can lead us some problems. You got more police
40:22
presence out on the road, So talk about talk about our police out there.
40:24
I know it's that's something this big interest to you. Yeah, just
40:28
the other day I was having a conversation with our Kennell County Sheriff's Department with
40:31
Mike Rutherford and Joey Crawford, the chief, and I wanted to make sure
40:35
that we were as we have always done year and in year out, making
40:37
sure we have extra presence of deputies on the streets during these holiday season.
40:44
They tell me that it is going to happen. We're going to have five
40:46
to seven more police officers making sure that there are you know, checking for
40:52
d wise looking for impair driving. You know, we always encourage everyone to
40:57
enjoy the Christmas season, you know, enjoy this with family and and have
41:00
fun. But we also want to make sure everyone knows drink responsible. Don't
41:04
drink or drive ride with anyone who does. But if you do, we're
41:07
going to find you and we're going to make sure that you know the full
41:10
all presence comes to you. And you know, it's important because we want
41:15
to make sure everyone feels safe this holiday season. You don't want a lot
41:17
of people are traveling from out of state coming in here. We've talked about
41:21
this for how many people from West Virginia live out of state and their families
41:24
have to come in. We want to make sure everyone's safe. So we're
41:27
going to keep that presence up not just here for Christmas, but for New
41:30
Year's as well, and just continue to remind everyone please drink responsibily, please
41:35
be safe, and you know, don't get on the right road if you're
41:37
impaired. It's not worth it. It's not worth it. Absolutely, you're
41:40
right about that. A couple of things where we let you go. I
41:43
know you've been out promoting safety as it comes to Christmas trees. Yeah,
41:45
this season, commissioner to talk about that, well, I think it's something
41:49
that we talk about a lot every year, and maybe some people, you
41:52
know, don't think much about it because it hasn't happened to them, But
41:55
you know, we want to make sure everyone's safe. This year, I've
41:58
had so many people come to me and tell me they got to talk about
42:00
the Christmas spirit, real Christmas trees this year, and that's wonderful. You
42:04
know, it's great to have a real Christmas tree. It's great to celebrate
42:07
the holiday season. But you have to remember Christmas trees need water and you
42:10
have We always say Christmas trees are flammable. A dry Christmas tree is very
42:15
flammable. So make sure that you're watering that tree every morning, every night.
42:21
Make sure that you're checking the lights, the wires, they're not frayed
42:23
from cats or tears. You know, we see about two hundred Christmas tree
42:29
fires every year in this nation. That doesn't seem like a lot, but
42:32
don't be one of those two hundred. Make sure you're checking on it.
42:36
Don't keep a heat source near it. I know this sounds like common sense
42:38
things, but make sure that you're just being you know, due, diligent
42:43
and keeping safe this holiday season. As a as a former wives old coal
42:46
work coworker of mine used to say, if common sense, we're common everyone
42:50
would have it. Yeah, and so keep that in mind. And one
42:52
last thing on safety. I know I talked to the Sheriff's apartment and they
42:54
want to make sure they've been hearing some extra reports of what we call porch
42:59
pirates. So you know a lot of people are ordering your Christmas presents,
43:02
especially late right now. I don't know about you, Dave, but I
43:05
am. But if you get any presents that come on the porch, you
43:08
know, keep an eye on it, make sure you're picking them up and
43:10
don't leave them overnight. Look out for your neighbors too. Yeah, let
43:13
me exactly make sure your neighbors, if d c owning, you know,
43:15
hide them, make sure they're you know, out of plain view. But
43:20
you know, just be safe this season. And we're going to continue to
43:22
keep the presence up with our law enforcement and do everything we can to protect
43:25
everybody for we let you go, Commission. I want to talk about the
43:28
year that was twenty twenty three in Kanawa County. Maybe a little preview for
43:30
twenty twenty four, just talk about it in general, what kind of a
43:34
year it was for Kanawa County. And there's a lot of growth in the
43:37
county with businesses and so on and so forth. Talk about that and where
43:39
do we head in twenty twenty four. Well, I think we've talked to
43:43
the Secretary of State Mac Warner, and he's told us that there's been more
43:45
business opening up here in Kannall County than any other county in this state.
43:51
We also see and that all the major announcements we had, the dirt bike
43:53
trails out near metal Wood, the Capital City Sports Complex discussion, the Coonskin
44:00
Park golf course. I mean, these have been huge upgrades. Everything that
44:05
the City of Charleston has done, including all the other municipalities, the million
44:08
dollars we've put into the demolition of dilapidated structures. I mean, the list
44:13
goes on and on the great things that's happened here this year. And you
44:16
know, I didn't know you were going to ask me that question. I
44:17
started thinking, there's so much to talk about it. I don't know if
44:21
I have enough time. But you know, the yeah, Well, and
44:23
we'll make sure that we're going to continue this progress. And I think there's
44:27
going to be some pretty big announcements coming up just in January that well,
44:30
you might want to have you back on to talk about, all right,
44:31
any preview for us, I'm not allowed to talk about it. So there's
44:37
a big announcement of some sort covied in January. It's all we know at
44:39
this point, exactly. You let me know when you want back on,
44:43
we'll let you talk about it. Lance, I appreciate you being here as

finds himself Ryan in a bit of hot water on Twitter or X. He

two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and some people are calling for it.
