State to audit Arnold, 2 transportation development districts over scrapped Arnold Parkway project
SUMMARY: The Missouri Auditor’s Office is investigating the city of Arnold, linked to the Arnold Parkway project that would have connected Highway 141 to Richardson Road, impacting homes and businesses. The audit focuses on potential corruption involving the city and two Transportation Development Districts, including property ownership issues and high-level officials serving as district officers. The $75 million project was halted last month after lawsuits from business owners. The city denies the allegations, claiming they’re based on misinformation. The state auditor is currently reviewing corporate documents provided by the city.
The Missouri State Auditor’s Office is auditing the city of Arnold and two transportation development districts following complaints about the proposed Arnold Parkway road project that has since been scrapped.
A Nov. 7 letter that state Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick sent Arnold Mayor Ron Counts said the Auditor’s Office had received multiple complaints from its Whistleblower Hotline about Arnold’s oversight and operation of the Arnold Retail Corridor Transportation Development District (ARC TDD) and the Triangle Transportation Development District (Triangle TDD).
The letter said the Auditor’s Office investigated the complaints and determined they are credible.
In the letter, the Auditor’s Office identified the following three potential issues that possibly could constitute improper government activity, adding that there could be more issues.
SUMMARY: The way fans watch NFL games has evolved significantly, with Netflix now streaming major matchups, including Chiefs vs. Steelers and Ravens vs. Texans on Christmas Day. This shift comes as Netflix aims to compete with platforms like Amazon that host “Thursday Night Football.” Amidst concerns about technical difficulties encountered during previous live events, Netflix is pursuing a live programming strategy, moving beyond traditional cable and satellite frameworks. Experts suggest that Netflix is responding to shifting viewer habits due to cord-cutting trends. Games will also be available locally and through the NFL+ app for those without Netflix subscriptions.
