Possible new park in Wisconsin

[wdln]

Carrie found an article on this when she was visiting her parents... Travel time to this area would be about 7-8 hours from Peoria, but 10,000 acres is big. Maybe the site of a future Big Trip if they ever get it going.

We had a blast the last time we went to Wisconsin wheeling. Might be worth a long weekend to check it out. Like you said if they get it going.

Later this week the State of Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage will be voting on moving Assembly Bill 369 on to the General Assembly. This Bill relates to: regulation of off-highway vehicles (i.e., establishing a sticker program creating a source of revenue to create and maintain 4WD trail riding opportunities).


Assembly Bill 369 is sponsored by Representatives Mursau, Swearingen, A. Ott, Bies and Kahl. In the Wisconsin State Senate it is co-sponsored by Senators Tiffany and Gudex.


It is vitally important to contact all members of the Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage and urge that they move Assembly Bill 369 out of committee and to a vote in the Wisconsin Assembly.


Suggested comment follows:


We/I support AB369 and urge you to vote in support of the legislation when it is submitted to you as a member of the State of Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage. The sooner that this legislation is passed, the sooner we can begin spending our vacation dollars here in the Badger State rather than traveling to adjacent states which offer motorized recreational opportunities (that the funds generated from AB369 will be used to provide) .
