Gov. Jay Nixon is awarding $1.5 million in federal stimulus money to task forces that fight cyber crime. The task force is made up of officers from local police departments, sheriff’s offices and the Missouri State Highway Patrol to investigate child pornography and other internet-based crimes.
Boone County is one of 13 locations in Missouri to get the stimulus dollars. The grant will fund two investigator positions here. The one-time federal money replaces state funds that were cut this year by state lawmakers.

The stimulus package is a flop. Now quit spending our money on pet projects, that only make government bigger.
