From Sue Drum: ATV stakeholder's meeting for August

An interesting meeting-click above for the link.

I just had a thought about these meetings:

Sue Drum mentioned that ATV proponents are using the "foot-in-the-door" tactic here-once a trail is authorized, they will push for more, until every community has a connecting trail.

I think Sue is right, but I also think they are planning on using the same technique that realtors used with the doc issue and agricultural intersts used the manure run off issue: When the DNR finalizes an agreement among parties, special moneyed corporate interests will pull legislative springs to invalidate the deal.

So I think those of us generally opposed to ATV's in the NHAL forest need to be on guard.

More to follow....
