Support new Motorsports venue in Snoqualmie

trav — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 17:54:16 +0000

We need to get as many letters out to the city council of Snoqualmie as we can. A new event venue for racing and motorsports events is trying to get annexed in to the Snoqualmie city limits to avoid the noise ordinance of king county. Stumpjumpers has an open invitation to hold club events there provided the annexation goes through.

You can write a short letter to the Snoqualmie city council stating you are in favor of the Mill planning annexation. Please email you letters to the Jodi Warren. jwarren@ci.snoqualmie.wa.us

This could be a huge benefit to the off-road community

Thank you for your help.

BRC LAND USE UPDATE — BREAKING NEWS: SALAZAR TO BACK DOWN ON WILDLANDS POLICY

BREAKING NEWS: SALAZAR TO BACK DOWN ON WILDLANDS POLICY

Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,

It seems the Obama Administration has realized it over-reached with the December 2010 Secretarial Order establishing the Wildlands Policy. The Associated Press is reporting that Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has today signed a memo saying his agency will not designate any "Wildlands."

The AP reports Salazar intends to work instead on efforts to "work with members of Congress to develop recommendations for managing millions of acres of undeveloped land in the West."

See:
APNewsBreak: Obama abandons wilderness plan
http://www.sfexaminer.com/politics/2011/06/apnewsbreak-obama-abandons-wilderness-plan

The impacts of this announcement on access and recreation on vast areas of public lands is not readily evident, but it certainly appears to us the DOI made the only reasonable decision since BLM lands have already been inventoried for wilderness characteristics. Those lands meeting the criteria are Wilderness Study areas and have been managed to protect wild character for many years.

Many other BLM lands remain attractive and available for a variety of recreation uses. We look forward to working with Congress and the agency to plan the management of these lands for all recreationists now and in the future.

NMA LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Howdy folks,

As the Legislative session is possibly close to wrapping up, once again our Nonhighway and Offroad Vehicle Activities (NOVA) account funds are at risk. It is time to let your Legislators know that you expect them to do the right thing and make sure that the ORV permit money and ORV use gas tax money goes to the right place.

Hopefully this is the last tough section of the course. Wick the throttle one more time and get us to the finish line.

Here is a sample message.
Use it or much better yet, make your own.

Oh, if you don’t know how to contact your legislators, go to www.leg.wa.gov

Happy trails,
Tod

Dear (Senator or Representative xxx),

When considering capital budget legislation, please keep the Nonhighway and Offroad Vehicle Activities (NOVA) account in mind.

The NOVA account is only completely self funded form of trail based recreation is our State.

This account was created when offroad vehicle users volunteered to waive their legal right to a fuel tax refund in exchange for a self-directed state account to provide funding for programs that benefited offroad vehicle activities.

These same citizens volunteered to have their license tab fees increased so long as those monies were also placed in the Non Highway and Offroad Vehicle Activities (NOVA) account.

To redirect the funding away from the NOVA account again would be acting extremely unfairly to the very same citizens that willing gave and entrusted the state their hard earned money.

Respectfully,

(your name)

Happy trails,
