Has California gone too far when 4 of 7 (the majority) of commissioners that sit upon our OHV Green Sticker funds are extreme environmentalists?
Please read the attached letter and copy and paste to your elected officials...
PLEASE.

CA OHV "Green Sticker" fund held hostage.

Dear Honorable (your elected officials)

My family and I are legal owners of Off Highway Vehicles in California. Recently the appointed members of the California Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Commission (CHMVR) voted 4 to 3 to deny the grant request from the El Centro Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in their needs for the coming year at the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreational Area.(ISDRA) This OHV recreation area is the most visited in the state and possible the country. This grant has been issued for the past 15 years to the BLM in their management of the dunes.

This California OHV program was started in 1971. Started by 2 legislators, one an OHV user and one an environmentalist. This program has supported legal OHV use in all forms within our state and has been used as an example for the rest of the country. The current make up of the commissioners are now threatening the existence of this program.

Commissioner Paul Spitler is an environmentalist on a mission. He helped write the "Off-Road to Ruin" report claiming untold damage caused by OHV use. This report is full of false statements and exaggerations that the CA BLM Desert Advisory Commission (DAC) reviewed the claims at a public meeting and disputed them. At this meeting Mr. Spitler on public record reveiled that the day before this meeting was his first OHV experience ever. How can someone with his extreme views on OHV recreation sit on a commission that represents taxpayers that support a program to enhance their experience and safety while using OHVs?

Commissioner John Brissenden voted against winter recreation operations and maintenance grants for the Humboldt-Toiyabe and Eldorado National Forests, where Mr. Brissenden does business as Sorenson’s Resort and Hope Valley Resort. Mr. Brissenden was the only OHMVR Commissioner to vote against every National Forest Winter Recreation Operations and Maintenance grant. He does not like OHV use anywhere. How can someone with his extreme views on OHV recreation sit on a commission that represents taxpayers that support a program to enhance their experience and safety while using OHVs?

I ask that you look into this matter for the 3.5 million recreationists in California that pay this fee to support a program to continue our family values and tradition. But extreme views in any public office is not representative of the voters they serve.

Thank You,

The ........ Family
