I've had a lot of questions over the last few weeks about where you can go to submit or review proposals for federal stimulus dollars. Last week, Governor Nixon rolled out a website where you can submit proposals and ask questions about the stimulus dollars. The Mid-America Regional Council also has a lot of good information about the stimulus package, including a call for transportation proposals.
I'm serving on the Senate Select Committee on Oversight of Federal Stimulus. We are currently holding several meetings a week in an attempt to answer a multitude of questions about where and how the money can be spent.
If you are interested in updates on federal stimulus dollars that will flow through the state legislature, please stop by my weekly meeting at Coffee Break, 5400 Troost Avenue, Friday morning from 9-10 AM.

Jolie, what do you think about SB313? Will that help with tracking stimulus dollars, or is it a sideshow?
Can I borrow $200 to get new tires for my car?
$200 for tires?!? I hope you aren't driving kids in that car.
MARC is being pimped out on stimulus just like the City is pimped out on TIF/P-Abatement. It is almost too much to stomach. Let's all be honest, the deals are done long before and regardless of any public comment. The public comment will merely result in a pat on the head for those that put forth the effort to offer an informed opinion. Business as usual, ignore the man behind the curtain.
Bout damn time they put someone on the committee that understands how to budget a dollar!
Gee it looks like you are real interested in blogging. I guess you found something outside the district that is more interesting.
