Wrap: The Southeast Missourian published an article saying; after 8 months there has been no progress on the Weaver Dickerson case.

The case involved 2 million dollars to a potential Cape Girardeau Medical Facility. 

According to Stoddard County Prosecuting Attourney Russ Oliver - it’s because Nixon’s Department of Economic Development isn’t cooperating on delivering case details.  

After Governor Nixon announced the funding, The Deparment of Economic Development found that Dickerson lied about his criminal record on the state aid application.

The Missouri Republican Party claims Governor Nixon could have prevented this- and other economic development failures like Mamtek - if he would have just done his homework.

According to the Stoddard County Prosecuting Attourney Nixon's Department of Economic Development didn't give the material he needed to continue the case.   

Dickerson was the proposed CEO of potential Medical Facility in Cape Girardeau.

He was found to have lied about his criminal record a week after Governor Nixon announced the 2 million in funding for the project.
