Sikeston, one of 15 Missouri communities, has received $2.5 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for infrastructure improvement. Our Republican state representatives Jason Smith, Josh Hawley, and others voted against this Bill. Since Sikeston received these funds, I don’t recall seeing anything published in the Standard Democrat where these funds are intended or have been spent. One would think the city leaders of Sikeston would share this information to the voters who elected them.
