Executive Branch

The governor recently signed Executive Order 09-12, which created the Transform Missouri Initiative. This initiative will identify programs that can benefit from stimulus funds and develop plans to maximize their use. The Initiative will be led by three operational directors: the governor's policy director, Jeff Harris, the state budget director, Linda Luebbering, and senior counsel to the governor for budget and finance, Paul Wilson. The Initiative will also be made up of personnel from various executive branch departments. They have also created a Web site, transform.mo.gov, to provide transparency and allow proposals to be submitted.

Legislative Branch

The Senate has also created a Select Committee on Oversight of Federal Stimulus to help secure and oversee the federal funds.

The money in Missouri will go through the appropriations process under Senate Bill 313 signed by the governor March 26. The bill basically creates catch-all line items in the budget to receive the stimulus funds, according to Missouri Sen. Scott Rupp, chairman of the Select Committee on Oversight of Federal Stimulus. Rupp, along with other legislators in Missouri believe the stimulus funds should go through the appropriations process. “The sheer amount of money that’s flowing in these states is ripe for abuse.”  The bill allows the legislature to receive the money in the budget and the legislature would have to approve all transfers made from those line items, Rupp said. “We have to approve the transfers as to where (the money is) going to go and we may be called into special session,” Rupp said. Rupp believes this set-up is also easier for taxpayers to follow.
