ACCESS-DENIED

We need a whole lotta dynamite so we can seperate upstate from NYC and Long Island, send them floating out into the Atlantic.


Problem solved.  

No, No Dynamite needed,
We just need every sledder to write and or call your Senator or Assemblyman and the Governor and calmly tell them how your feel about this. It would also help if you could get the business owners (bars, restaurants, Gas stations, parts places and dealers) that your use to do the same thing....  

But I am betting that more than 3/4 of the DOOTALKERS who read this won't STEP UP.

Hey...they missed Saskatchewan on that list...whats going on here!!LOL!!!

Yah - but they included Arizona of all places!


Um wheres NEW YORK?

I was told the 2011 Apex has an increase of 19 horse..  150 + 19 = 169.... Hmmm interesting,....... EPS I wasn't sure why,  But I rode one ...... I can't afford it ..... and I want one ..... I think.

I can't believe more people on here aren't p i ssed off and/or willing to send a note to the governor and assemblyman

Some people only care about their sled or their trails or their trips or their riding styles... They couldn't care less about how what they do affects other people..

I just found this (on a different site)



GRIFFO SAYS THAT SNOW JOB IS UNACCEPTABLE

State Senator Joseph A. Griffo (R-IP-C, Rome) today condemned the
Governor’s Budget proposal to “sweep” $5 million dollars from the
snowmobile trail development and maintenance fund into the general fund
over the next several years.

“We’ve returned to where we were two years ago when the Governor attempted to take $1 million during the 2008-2009 budget process,” said Senator Griffo. “Back then – after Senate Republicans prevented the grab - snowmobilers were given assurances from the Governor that money from the fund would be dedicated to reimburse snowmobile clubs to maintain the trails, and support trail development and maintenance activities carried out by the Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) and the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Snowmobilers supported raising registration fees because they believed this.”

The law also provides for funding of the snowmobile unit at OPRHP,
including personal services, salaries, benefits, travel, and other direct
expenses. Griffo says that the sweep amounts to about 20% of the Budget
earmarked for snowmobilers who use the trail system.

Members of snowmobile clubs pay $45 to register their sleds with $35 of
that going to the state’s Snowmobile Trail Development and Maintenance
Fund. Non-club members are charged $100 to register a snowmobile in New York.

“I’m opposed and appalled at this latest initiative to raid the trail
fund,” Griffo added. “I’m urging my fellow legislators and members of the
239 snowmobile clubs throughout the State and those enthusiasts who come from outside New York, to urge that this money stay where it’s supposed to go.”

Griffo also noted that according to a recent New York State Snowmobile
Association analysis of economic studies, snowmobiling contributes over $1 billion to the state’s economy each year.
