In this episode, Chris Rongey and Amy Marxkors welcome Missouri State Representative Steve Butz to discuss alarming concerns about potential fraud in a grant program funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in St. Louis. Butz highlights specific instances where non-existent businesses received grants and some denied applicants received $12,500. Criticizing the St. Louis Development Corporation and its third-party vendor, Grow USA, for inadequate vetting, Butz calls for an investigation by the State Auditor. The conversation emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in grant distribution, urging residents to report any suspicious activities.
