[QUOTE="tdunn976, post: 1233246, member: 45706"] Below is a press release by the MMRC with some more pressure we might just be moving forward again 10-10 SENATOR VISITOR 10-11-07 Michigan Motorized Recreation Council For Immediate Release Yesterday, 10-10-07, eleven of us Chuck Smith, Bill Gilbert (ATVOC), Thomas Dunn, Greg Bradley & guest, Glenn Jaffas (AMA D-14), Toby Poland, Bob Bauer, Lewis Schuler, (CCC) Doc Paulsen of Ogemaw County and myself, made the rounds to every State Senators office. Thanks to those folks for a job well done! We passed out to every Senator, a packet which included a questionnaire asking if they supported HB 4323, if they were undecided or if they had issues and if so, what were they? We asked for a response by October 29th. Included in the packet, an Overview of HB 4323, a list of the 19 counties with some form of ORV ordinance in place. A list of the fourteen counties where consideration is being given to establishment of a favorable ORV ordinance. In our discussions before heading home, we found some very positive discussions were had. Some in our group receiving an instant response of “support” from the Senators and they would vote “yes” to HB 4323. Very few negative comments were heard. We must bear in mind, there has been little done in the past few months on legislative matters other than budget issues. Some work remains in that area, but we are now nearing the time for other legislative issues to come to the surface, one of those being HB 4323. Where do we go from here? Obviously HB 4323 is very much alive! Have all your contacts send an e-mail to your Senator urging them to aid in any manner possible in moving HB 4323 forward. Start off their letter by stating “I support HB 4323 as presented from the House because............... We do not want this Bill to be cluttered with amendments that could possibly turn it into a junk Bill that we cannot support. “as presented from the House” are key words that should be in every letter/e-mail/phone conversation Of the 14 counties where we have received inquiries Alpena, Clare, Crawford, Gladwin, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Keweenaw, Lake, Manistee, Missaukee, Oceana, Newaygo, Roscommon and Wexford, we need some of those to adopt, subject to the passage of HB 4323. Or, send a letter to their Senator advising them of such and to the members of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs. We need letters of support sent into the respective Senators and the members of the Senate Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs committee from the following; County Sheriff ’ County Commissions Township Boards County Road Commissions Chambers of Commerce If your county already has a favorable ORV ordinance, IT IS AT RISK, if HB 4323 fails to pass the Senate. We have already seen a serious effort by MDNR to try and get counties to rescind ORV ordinances. We can expect that effort to intensify if HB 4323 fails in the Senate! Please bear in mind, the Governor has agreed to sign the Bill as passed by the House and presented to the Senate. It is up to each of us to make every possible effort to ensure HB 4323 passes in the Senate! The single most important thing at the moment is contact to the Senators from their constituents. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please feel free to write or call. [email]dranney1@charter.net[/email] or 989 469-2405. Sincerely; Dick Ranney Coordinator, Michigan Motorized Recreation Council Chair, MDNR ORV Trail Advisory Board Off-Road Legislative Director, AMA D-14 Member, Board of Governors, Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan Board Member, Iosco County Parks & Recreation [/QUOTE]
