Dear Pat-
Thank you for your e-mail concerning the legislative proposal by Minnesotans for Responsible Recreation.
Please know that I adamantly and wholeheartedly oppose this legislation. In all honesty, I believe this legislation doesn't have a prayer in passing or even making it to a committee hearing. Please remember that any Representative or Senator can propose legislation, it doesn't mean there is widespread support though. I also want to point out that there is no author for this legislation in the House which indicates a lack of support in the House of Representative.
As an avid snowmobiler (who in my glory (younger) days, used to race) I couldn't think of worse legislation. I believe it is the goal of all Minnesotans to have safe, legal trails for our recreational riders and we have to continue the development and maintenance of our trail systems. If this bill were to ever pass, trail systems and development would be devastated.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please always feel free to contact me at any time.
Sincerely,
Representative Larry Hosch
District 14B
(800) 947-8264
(651) 296-4373

I would sure hope you do your best to stop the legislation drafted by the "Minnesotans for Responsible Recreation." From what I understand (I am not political) this is tax money that we generate and should be left fund us.
