Constitutional Authority. Missouri’s Constitution lays the framework for how local governments may expend public funds in Article 6, Section 23 and 25. However, Missouri courts have stated that “no violation of sec. 23 or 25, art. VI, Missouri Constitution, occurs where the expenditure of public funds is for a public purpose.”9 Therefore, to maintain constitutionality under the public purpose doctrine, it is necessary to determine what qualifies an expenditure of public funds by a local government in Missouri as being put toward a public purpose. The central test for what constitutes a public purpose lies with the Missouri legislature. The Supreme Court of Missouri has stated that, “determination of what constitutes a public purpose is primarily for the legislative department and it will not be overturned unless found to be arbitrary and unreasonable. The public purpose being apparent, it is unimportant that incidental benefits may accrue to private interests.”10 Where the Missouri legislature has passed legislation authorizing local governments to expend money for specific reasons, those reasons, unless arbitrary and unreasonable, are deemed a public purpose and, as a result, constitutional. 4 Id. 5 Id.
