Action ALERT from NYSSA

An urgent message from the New York State Snowmobile Association

STATE "RAID" ON SNOWMOBILE TRAIL FUND

Your letters and e-mails are needed now !

Governor Patterson has proposed in his 2010 Executive Budget to "sweep" $5 million dollars from the snowmobile trail development and maintenance fund into the general fund over the next several years. What you may not be aware of is that the Governor proposes to sweep $1 million from the trail fund this current fiscal year! This unprecedented sweep, comes less than two years after a previous attempt to take $1 million during the 2008-2009 budget process.

This unprecedented sweep is being proposed less than two years after a previous attempt to take $1 million during the 2008-2009 budget process was avoided with the understanding by NYSSA and its supporters that similar raids would not be attempted in the future. Governor Paterson stated in a press release at the time that the state would "ensure that money from these registration fees will be spent in a way that specifically benefits snowmobilers... solely on trail maintenance and related program activities."

Every snowmobiler needs to take action immediately by writing the their legislators and the Governor to head off the snowmobile trail fund raid this year! Please write a letter to each one to ensure they know how many people from their districts are opposed to this action.
