Some of you asked me about this off line, all I heard before was rumors but now the AMA D37 President has entered the fray, guess we can call this cat out of the bag I suggest we do as it says.   Tom   ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - The Budget Committee is looking for ways to save as many state parks as possible. They have now come up with the idea of stealing the gas tax money from OHV and sharing it with all of the others parks. We need you to contact your own legislator and members of the budget committee with a letter, note or phone call that says don't punish OHV for doing a good job. Let them know that OHV is user-supported, budgets for law enforcement and environmental concerns, including preservation of endangered species, and has been managed to be prepared for a rainy day. They have also already given ninety million dollars from their acquisition and improvement fund to offset the budget. OHV parks are among the most visited in the park system. Don't punish those who have supported proper management and user fees by taking away their program. 2009 Budget Conference Committee Members Assembly Noreen Evans - Fax 319-2107 (phone 319-2007) Roger Niello - Fax 319-2105 (phone 319-2004) Bob Blumenfield - 319-2140 (phone 319-2040) Kevin de Leon - Fax 319-2145 (phone 319-2045) Jim Nielsen - Fax 319-2102 (phone 319-2002) Senate Denise Ducheny - Fax 327-3522 (phone 651-4040) Bob Dutton - Fax 327-2272 (phone 651-4031) Mark Leno - Fax 445-4722 (phone 651-4003) Alan Lowenthal - Fax 327-9113 (phone 651-4027) Mimi Walters - Fax 651-4033 (phone 651-4033) ALL PHONE NUMBERS AND FAX AREA CODE (916) ____________ ______ Jerry Grabow District 37 Off-Road President 2008-09 Four Aces MC 0812
