Tour of Missouri Funding Cut From State’s Tourism Budget
Yesterday morning, before and perhaps during the non-hostage event, the Missouri Tourism Commission voted to approve $1.6 million in budget cuts for the coming year.
The cuts in spending, as recommended by the body's budget subcommittee, included funds for the 2010 Tour of Missouri.
Minutes from the meeting are not yet available, but it’s my understanding that the decision to remove Tour funding was supported by both Republican and Democratic members of the Commission.

Good Deal!
Missouri taxpayers have enough mess to pay for these days without having to fund that stupid bicycle race just so that.. a Leutenant Governor can get his jollies...
This bike race makes our state look like an absolute joke, especially with so many jobs leaving our state, our schools falling apart, our roads and bridges crumbling, and our disabled children not receiving any services.
