Hi all,

I am running for the office of Assistant Director-Legislation

I simply feel CORVA as an Organization needs to be more closely involved with Legislative issues, for example SB 1228 the ATV safety bill is moving on virtually unopposed and un amended. We just passed an ATV Safety bill last legislative cycle, without even taking any time to see if the previous bill AB 2755 can be complied with, this new bill needs to be further studied to be sure we're not locked into an unfunded mandate. CLORV has unfortunately failed us in the last primary election, they didn't provide any voter recommendations and CORVA could be doing more to fill the gap in legislation issues. CORVA needs to strive to be at the table though the development of these bills, experience has shown we just can't pass the buck and expect things to get done, I feel I could be of much service to the OHV Community in this area.

Thanks and best regards.

Thomas Tammone

Thanks for putting your name in the hat Tom.

You opposition does not have 1/4 of the background you have on this stuff. George Paniagua, served in another postion within CORVA and was a waste of time. Heck, the guy didn't show up to most CORVA BOD meetings.

I hear, once again, CORVA did not properly Notice the membership about this election and some might be challenging any results from this election.

This should be interesting.

Have to say I am Deff pulling for you TOM

Thanks for the support folks, let's just keep our fingers crossed it goes smoother than the may elections...TJ

I have received a lot of offline feedback as to why SB1228 has been handled the way it was, and Parks along with OHV Representatives have been at the table on this. The real question as to me running of course is CORVA's roll in this, I'm afraid that question will remain unanswered till the meeting, which I highly recommend attending...TJ

However you wish to vote for I do recommend all CORVA members show up at the meeting, however if you can't groups of ten CORVA members or more can assign a delegate, if your not a CORVA Club (most common scenario) use this form:

Only the delegate needs show for the meeting and must be there at 9 AM

I doubt if anyone can utilize the CORVA Club form at this point but here's the link, please read the instructions on this form very carefully:

ALL CORVA members voting must have the dues paid up to date...TJ
