Last week, the Missouri House decided to include money for the race in next year’s state budget. The bill moves on to the Senate.
The Missouri Bicycle & Federation is asking Tour of Missouri supporters to express their support to members of the Senate Appropriations Committee .
The Federation and the Missouri Bicycle Racing Association have taken over day-to-day operations of the race from Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder’s office.
If the bill makes it through the Senate, it goes to Gov. Jay Nixon for his signature. Like many other states, Missouri gives its governor line-item veto powers. The federation still is calling on Tour of Missouri supporters to contact Nixon’s office at 573-751-3222 or through his Web site, http://governor.mo.gov/contact .
As of today, the Support the Tour of Missouri Facebook page has more than 7,000 fans and the Tour of Missouri 2010 Twitter page has almost 180 followers.
