Press Release

Your OHV Trust funds are in Danger



 

There
is a proposal that will be voted on today in Sacramento that will SAVE
STATE PARKS. That sounds great doesn't it? Well yes, EXCEPT the proposal
TAKES $21 million out of your OHV Trust Fund and gives it to other
divisions of state parks for non-OHV related projects.

If this is
successful then the effect will be that all
the state OHV grant funding for areas like CC Camp, Cow Mountain,
Stonyford, Georgetown, Foresthill, Shasta-Chappie, Metcalf, pretty much
all BLM and Forest Service OHV areas, will be
eliminated.

There are three senators who have to vote today on
this proposal for it to move forward to the next level. We need two NO
votes to stop the taking of your OHV monies.

The good news is that we have one confirmed NO vote.

We need you to tell the other two senators to vote NO and keep their hands off of the OHV Trust Fund!

You can reach Sen. Joe Simitian's office at (916) 651-4011.

You can reach Sen. Alan Lowenthal's office at (916) 651-4027.

1.
Be polite. The people that answer these phone calls are office staff
and are not the decision makers. They will pass the message on.

2. The general message is OHV Trust Fund money is for OHV recreation, it is not for State Parks to use. Vote
NO on the SAVE STATE PARKS proposal.

3. Ask that they pass your message on to the senator before the hearing today.

You can watch the hearing live today at 2:30 p.m. at
