[QUOTE="OffRoadWarrior, post: 125759, member: 22244"] What you have there KW is the Senate version of our trail funding bill introduced by Sen. DeFrancisco. The problem is that an eco group called "The Adirondack Council" has gotten an amendment attatched to the Assembly version of the bill that prohibits trail construction in the Adirondacks. DeFrancisco has said that he will not move his bill unless that amendment is struck from the Assembly version. Mr. Morelle's office (Morelle being the sponsor of the Assembly version) told me that the assembly bill is "unpassable" without the amendment. Translation: We've been completely bullied by the environmentalist lobby. If the two bills aren't synched back up then they both die and we have to try again next year in a potentially "greener" and more hostile state legislature. The cynic in me says that none of these guys are REALLY interested in the trail funding bill because it would take away money that they currently get to allocate out of the general fund for whatever their current pet pork project is. Government is not interested in fairness. Its not interested in efficiency. All they care about is power, money and not being pestered with protesters. Unfortunately the ecos are better at raising money, greasing palms and making political noise than we are. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- too POed to have anything amusing to say.
