Birding Friends-

The responsible Off Highway Vehicles Bill (SF 850)  has a good chance of
passing with a little more push.  Please contact your representatives if
you have the time and agree with this legislation.  (It essentially
designates areas for OHV use, instead of the current system which infers
they are permitted anywhere unless otherwise stated).

>laid out the "key components" that must be in an OHV bill that the
>Governor will approve, and 6 out of 7 of those key components are
>provisions already in SF 850.  The House Conferees should listen to
>their Governor's position (4 of 5 are Republicans), respect the DNR's
>advice, and defer to the more balanced and considered product produced
