ASSUMPTION
Officials with the Department of Transportation (MoDOT) note that the proposal eliminates the Missouri Highways & Transportation Commission and establishes the Director of the Department as its Chief Executive Officer. Based on historical request for reimbursement of expenses by commission members, any savings to MoDOT as a result of the elimination of the Commission would be minimal.
Advertisement costs for the proposal would be $4,380 per newspaper column inch for three printings of the text of the proposal, the introduction, title, fiscal note summary, and affidavit. The proposal would be on the ballot for the November 2002 general election. The Office of the Secretary of State assumes the proposal would require the printing of 25 column inches, for a total cost of $109,500.
Officials from the Office of the Governor did not respond to our fiscal note request. Oversight assumes any fiscal impact to the Office would be minimal.
