GOVERNOR SNYDERS PROPOSED $35.00 & $45.00 ORV STICKER FEE'S

[TopWop]

Governor Snyder Proposed ORV Fee increase

An increase to the Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) license fee is recommended to enhance the ORV
trails program by expanding trail riding opportunities, upgrading trail signage and improving
safety education, law enforcement, and environmental restoration.  The current fee of $16.25,
last increased in 1996, is recommended to increase to $35.00 in fiscal year 2013
END QUOTE______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

WOW,
         is this guy NUTS And this aint nothing yet. For 2014, he wants us to pay $45.00 for each ORV sticker.

He says for ''upgrading trails''

We haven't had properly ''maintained trails'' with our current 16.25 ORV sticker for AGES now.And with the higher fuel prices and poor Michigan economy, this guy must be living in ANOTHER WORLD

[RIP_K52007]

Goes along with his other bright ideas I guess.

[72 Bogger]

just another way to stick it to us so they can keep there high paying saleries

[J.C.]

well? who is going to start this overthrow?

[RIP_K52007]

Lol j.c. I'm busy with the ron paul campaign its someone elses turn. it wouldn't take much, could probably get rid of him over the emergency managers deal. Hopefully we don't get 2 terms from this joker. On the bright side.. we could still have granholm lolol

I would be willing to pay the increase if the trails were gonna be worked and have some better signage, I've been lost before and its not fun

I don't think there is a person around who would disagree with you. However, that's the whole issue, we beeb paying the 16.25 ORV sticker fee since 1996, and people are always getting lost and complaining about the poor shape of our trails.

DNR has ALOT of internal issues regarding our ORV Program here in Michigan, that MUST be addressed before  the legislators concern themselves about ANY increase in fee's.

All it will do is the same as gas prices..

people will drive less..

stickers go that high and with gas $$ up.. I can't afford to play..
it's over to the neighbors track to ride..and all it costs me is a gallon of gas and a beer.
Snyder and the state can off!!

[01vortecpwr]

way to ruin something else for people. cant afford to do much now as it is. "come to michigan the fun stopper state."

X2  but only if they were actually going to start maintaining the trails better and signage, it is ridicules that they said that 15 years ago when they raised the prices and yet nothing was done, If this is just another way for the state to make money off us, with no improvements then I guess I'll be writing a letter probably wont do anything but makes me feel good lol

Im headed to Lansing this coming Wednesday, I'll let everyone know what I find in the ORV Board meeting regarding this issue.

[Jjay78]

as usual from our govt, its just a trick they say that their gonna make improvements and if they get really serious about jacking the price up they'll make pamphlets or a couple tv commercials n show a really nasty trail so that people from inner cities or the country that've never even driven on a orv trail and know nothing about it will vote in support of the increase... so then they can jack up our price and say that we wanted it make one trail or mud hole "better" and then just pocket the rest and repeat the process in a couple years

I will be leaving the Burton area [ Courtland Mall ] about 4:45 pm. I'll have room for 3 other people in my ride if anyone wants to car pool down there with me.

Now is the time to GET INVOLVED. If we sit by the way-side and say/do nothing regarding this 35.00 ORV sticker, than we deserve what we get in the end.

Get INVOLVED if you can!

its just money it grows on trees! guess there will be more wheelin at private places!

[TopWop]

We use to call it ''disposable income ''

@ $ 5 per gallon for fuel, projected for this coming summer,I think a lot of folks will be dropping from the sport because the $$ will be needed elsewhere in the family.

And now a 35.00 & 45.00 ORV sticker too.
