this guy really is a prick..... Last week the Governor released his supplemental budget to close a $1.2 billion dollar deficit. The Governor took the unprecedented step to use money from the ATV, Snowmobile and Boating account to transfer out of our dedicated accounts and into the general fund to help erase the deficit. Setting this precedent is dangerous to the users of ATV, Snowmobile and Boats because it could lead to further raiding of our dedicated money. This is the fund that pays for our grant-in-aid trails, enforcement, and all the other things that ATVers help pay for to enhance the sport in the state. Here are the details: $97,000 will be transfered from the ATV Damage Account into the General Fund for this FY2010 $203,000 will be transfered from the ATV Damage Account into the General Fund for FY2011 $107,000 will be transfered from the ATV - Electronic Licensing System account to the General Fund for FY2011 $407,000 total transfered out of ATV Account to fill General Fund deficit. The total transfered out of the Snowmobile Account is $267,410 and the total out of the Boating Account is $1.202 million. Please contact your legislator and let them know that you and ATVAM DO NOT SUPPORT the Governors proposal to transfer funds from dedicated accounts in DNR to fill a general fund deficit.

YES U R right.... Members, Your action has been successful! The Dept. of Natural Resources has clarified publicly today that the dedicated ATV and Snowmobile accounts will NOT be used to fill the budget deficit. There will be a statement coming soon from DNR and you will receive that statement when it is available. Thank you, Jonathan M. Bohn Media and Government Affairs
