State auditor finds lacking transparency in Stone County Developmental Disability Board
The audit gives the Board a rating of 'fair' and recommends improved compliance with the Missouri Sunshine Law.
According to a news release from the state auditor's office, the audit report highlights that the Board's Operations and Finance committees 'did not always provide notice of the time, date and place of each meeting, and did not prepare or provide tentative agendas.'
The report also says that without maintaining meeting minutes and providing public notice of Board committee meetings, the Board lacks an official record and there is no transparency regarding the actions taken during committee meetings.

Additionally, the report found the Board violated the Sunshine Law by discussing and voting to increase the Executive Director's salary from $90,000 to $125,000 annually in the December 21, 2023, closed meeting.
'It's disappointing to see the Board doesn't consistently comply with the provisions of the Sunshine Law and in doing so prevents the public from having an adequate level of access to, and knowledge of, Board committee decisions and actions,' said Fitzpatrick in the release.
Fitzpatrick also said the Board disagreed with many of the report's findings, made an incorrect claim that it doesn't qualify as a political subdivision, and provided a response that seems to indicate the Board believes compliance with state law is not mandatory.
In addition, the audit found the Board did not comply with state law when it procured a construction manager for the construction of a facility to house all Board operations.
The Board solicited proposals from construction managers for the facility using the construction manager-at-risk method outlined in Missouri state law, and in March 2024, awarded a contract to a construction manager for a guaranteed maximum price of $2.75 million.

However, Section 67.5050(2), RSMo, allows this procurement method only for building projects that exceed $3 million.
According to the report, the Board disagrees with that finding and makes the claim that 'it is not a political subdivision and thus not subject to the relevant statute.' However, Auditor Fitzpatrick says by its own admission, the Board is clearly a political subdivision as it defines itself as such on its own official website.
'I hope this report shines some additional light on the operation of the Board for the taxpayers of Stone County and the numerous individuals who have questioned Board decisions in recent years,' said Fitzpatrick.

America starts to feel the squeeze: What we know about tariffs and inflation
Consumers and businesses are feeling the pinch from President Trump's trade war, with costs soaring for grocery staples and critical materials. Why it matters: It's no longer anecdotal. The effects are difficult to ignore across key inflation indicators that might only get hotter in the months ahead. The big picture: Global tariffs are putting upward pressure on costs. U.S. businesses are bearing the brunt, contrary to White House hopes that foreign suppliers would take some of the hit. Between the lines: Import prices might cool if exporters around the globe were discounting goods to help ease the tariff burden for their U.S. buyers. But the opposite was the case last month: Import prices rose at the quickest pace this year, "casting further doubt on the 'foreigners will pay' talk from the administration," ING global economist James Knightley wrote this week. Threat level: Wholesale prices rose at the fastest pace in three years last month — higher costs that might be passed on to the consumer down the line. The data "points to pipeline inflation that's likely to spill into consumer prices in the months ahead," says Michelle Green, a former Labor Department economist, now at corporate planning firm Board. Fresh and dry vegetable prices rose by almost 40 percent alone last month, the largest spike since inflation took off in 2022. The intrigue: Mexico is a leading supplier of America's vegetables, imports now subject to 25% tariff rates — at least until the end of October.. The Trump administration exempted U.S.-bound goods covered under the U.S.-Canada-Mexico trade agreement from tariffs, though the Trump 1.0-era deal largely does not apply to agricultural goods. The Consumer Price Index this week showed evidence of some tariff-related price hikes, though less so than was evident in June. The latest: Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee warned this week that a wave of new tariff announcements for inputs, like semiconductors, as well as final goods could keep upward pressure on inflation. That would be a more bleak outcome than the one-and-done price hike some, including White House economists, predict. "I just want some more surety that that's not going to be a persistent inflation shock," Goolsbee said. Of note: Customs and Border Protection said late Friday that 50% steel and aluminum tariffs would be expanded to more than 400 other goods, effective Monday. What to watch: Persistent inflation could derail a series of interest rate cuts later this year expected by financial markets and demanded by Trump.

Secure Trust Bank (LON:STB) Is Due To Pay A Dividend Of £0.118
The board of Secure Trust Bank PLC (LON:STB) has announced that it will pay a dividend of £0.118 per share on the 25th of September. Despite this raise, the dividend yield of 3.0% is only a modest boost to shareholder returns. While the dividend yield is important for income investors, it is also important to consider any large share price moves, as this will generally outweigh any gains from distributions. Investors will be pleased to see that Secure Trust Bank's stock price has increased by 81% in the last 3 months, which is good for shareholders and can also explain a decrease in the dividend yield. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Secure Trust Bank's Dividend Forecasted To Be Well Covered By Earnings It would be nice for the yield to be higher, but we should also check if higher levels of dividend payment would be sustainable. Secure Trust Bank has established itself as a dividend paying company with over 10 years history of distributing earnings to shareholders. Based on Secure Trust Bank's last earnings report, the payout ratio is at a decent 28%, meaning that the company is able to pay out its dividend with a bit of room to spare. Looking forward, EPS is forecast to rise by 194.3% over the next 3 years. The future payout ratio could be 11% over that time period, according to analyst estimates, which is a good look for the future of the dividend. View our latest analysis for Secure Trust Bank Dividend Volatility Although the company has a long dividend history, it has been cut at least once in the last 10 years. The dividend has gone from an annual total of £0.68 in 2015 to the most recent total annual payment of £0.338. This works out to be a decline of approximately 6.8% per year over that time. A company that decreases its dividend over time generally isn't what we are looking for. The Dividend's Growth Prospects Are Limited Given that the track record hasn't been stellar, we really want to see earnings per share growing over time. Earnings have grown at around 2.4% a year for the past five years, which isn't massive but still better than seeing them shrink. While EPS growth is quite low, Secure Trust Bank has the option to increase the payout ratio to return more cash to shareholders. In Summary In summary, it's great to see that the company can raise the dividend and keep it in a sustainable range. The dividend has been at reasonable levels historically, but that hasn't translated into a consistent payment. The dividend looks okay, but there have been some issues in the past, so we would be a little bit cautious. Companies possessing a stable dividend policy will likely enjoy greater investor interest than those suffering from a more inconsistent approach. However, there are other things to consider for investors when analysing stock performance. For instance, we've picked out 2 warning signs for Secure Trust Bank that investors should take into consideration.
