Now, the Kentucky General Assembly wants more oversight of those funds.
This comes after reporting by the Lexington Herald-Leader that showed checks meant for tornado victims went to people unaffected by the storms.
State Senator Whitney Westerfield of Fruit Hill and western Kentucky says the relief funds are unconstitutional and he wants answers.
But we didn't have answers to very many questions.
I thought it was appropriate to get answers to those questions, not a full blown investigative audit.
Just we'd like to know where the money went.
How did you make distribution decisions?
The measure to give the legislature oversight of the funds is Senate Bill 99.
That bill passed the Senate 33 to 2, and it now heads to the House.
