We discuss Independence's financial challenges, the debate over funding the library, museum and parks, city staffing and administrative costs, development fees, water and wastewater infrastructure, downtown development, public safety, and what sustainable growth could look like for the city.

Barrett also shares his personal history in Independence—from managing a struggling local storage business to working as an aircraft mechanic, flight instructor and small business owner—and explains how those experiences have shaped his approach to city government.

It's a wide-ranging conversation about the choices facing Independence, what the role of the mayor should be, and Barrett's case for why voters should choose him in November.
