Wrap: The State Auditor said they found Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder created a website his office cannot legally operate.
The Missouri Waste Report would allow the public to report suspected misuse of state funds.
But Deputy Auditor Harry Otto says that's his job.

| Description: "We would see some duplication of effort here, or duplication of dollars being spent, maybe unnecessarily." | |

A state audit found the lieutenant governor's office using state funds without authorization. |

| OutCue: | SOC |
Wrap: The state auditor says they found Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder using thousands from state funds for a website without legal authority.
The site would allow people to report suspected misuse of taxpayer dollars.
But Deputy Auditor Harry Otto says his office's website already does that.

|---|---|
| Run Time: | 00:13 |
| Description: "The Lieutenant Governor received the $38,000 for a website that can be deemed duplicative, maybe even wasteful in itself." | |
Otto says Kinder lacks legal authority to protect the identities of people who report potentially illegal government spending.
Kinder's office was unavailable for comment.
