This Whole Thing Stinks!
As the CA
Trust Fund War continues, HQ believes that it will be important for OHvers to
eventually ask the Governor to veto/oppose any transfer from the OHV Trust Fund
to the general fund or to other non-SB742 approved activities or uses.
HQ wants to
commend Trout Unlimited and other conservation groups who joined with the OHV
community in a joint letter (in a similar fight in NM) asking the New Mexico
governor to veto any transfer of OHV funds to the general fund.TU et al letter to NM Governor

HQ does not
believe there is broad support among mainstream environmental or conservation
groups for the California Parks Foundation’s plan to steal OHV Trust Fund
monies that will gut the local assistance grants program to our local, county, federal,
and NGO partners.
HQ also
wants to commend CA counties like Kern County who have sent letters in
opposition to raiding the OHV Trust Fund.

HQ wants to thank all of
you (including environmental groups) who have made phone calls, sent letters,
and even made personal visits to your state legislator. Stay tuned as there will be additional alerts
as this fight is not yet over.
