[QUOTE="truespode, post: 594243, member: 29329"] I agree completely but dealing in the reality of the situation we are lucky enough as it is in SC to have re-opened the trails we have. One day I will discuss with you some of the battles we have had with the public agencies regarding land use. Motorized recreation is not a priority in SC for the public agencies and if they had their druthers they would close all areas down. Fortunately we have had enough people fighting (including getting some legal help) to get some things done. It is possible that we can accomplish some things but you would really be dissappointed to see how our voices are heard. Heck in many of the public meetings anymore oral comments are no longer allowed... everything must be done in writing and the organizers are allowed to do as they please. They say that public input is important but of all the meetings and of all the letters I have written the only time I've gotten anything done is when I have carbon copied legislators or the paper. I could go on and on but the PC stuff has us by the nads right now and it is infuriating at times b/c the right thing is not being done. By federal law 30% of the off-highway tax revenue is supposed to go to OHV projects and if no project is presented it is up to RTP to make one. They have taken the 30% and tried to keep it away from OHV'ers. There was even a SLED investigation recently when they wanted to boot us out of the program together but fortunately the federal overseers saw through the lies. That investigation caused the RTP funds to be suspended for a year and now they are back up but the entire RTP grant system is up for review in the federal gov't either this year or next. Depending on the economy and a few other factors the RTP legislation will be skimmed over and changes that hurt OHV'ers will be put in place. I need to stop b/c I'm getting flustered :) Anyway, I see your point and agree 100% but in reality I do not see it happening :( Ivan [/QUOTE]
