[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1210401, member: 17212"] Tony. If properly run it will help. Unfortunately, every fatazz politician and agency will see it as their personal slush fund. Many years ago we had to sue the governor of California because he stole the green sticker funds and put it in the general fund. We had to hire attorneys and sue to get the money back. We didn't get the money back but we did prevent them from stealing it for the general fund in the future. A few years ago the local sheriff conficated, (through a grant) $160,000.00 of our green sticker money and purchased a Ford Crewcab Diesel, a big fancy toybox trailer and several expensive quads to patrol the hills and chase the dirtbikers out. They are now paid to ride the trails in the hills where we ride and give us tickets. The trails in those hills were nothing more than rabbit trails. Not any wider than the width of a knobby. You couldn't even see them from my house. Now, since the sheriff has been riding their quads up there, the trails are wide fireroads. They can be plainly seen from the freeway and the hills look scarred. We rode those hills for over 35 years without changing the look of them or the trails. Now that the sheriff has been riding the quads up there, the whole area looks terrible with wide trails all over the place. And guess who gets blamed for that? Now people write into the newspaper and complain about what those nasty dirtbikers did to the hills. :| When we ask the county supervisors why we don't have a cycle park in riverside county, they say there is no money for that. If they start a sticker program in Texas, make sure the stop gaps are put in place in the very beginning or they will figure out a way to steal it and make you guys out to be the bad guys. [/QUOTE]
