Boone commissioners to vote on MU resolution

Boone County Commissioners are scheduled to vote Tuesday on a resolution in support of the University of Missouri.

Presiding Commissioner Dan Atwill said the resolution was drawn up with the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, the city, and Columbia Public Schools.

Atwill is concerned about possible legislative cuts to MU and the entire UM System.

Atwill said the resolution urges all MO lawmakers to consider the financial impact of the university on the state and on Mid-Missouri.
