NOVA funds at risk again

The Washington State legislature will be back in special session again soon.

They will have one goal, find money.

DON'T LET THAT BE YOUR ORV FUNDS AGAIN!

Please contact your State Senator and both of your State House of Representatives members and remind them.

Example message:

Dear xxx,

Please DO NOT redistribute funds intended for the Non Highway and Offroad Vehicle Activities account AGAIN!

In 2009 the legislature took all of these funds and gave them to State Parks where none of those funds benefited offroad vehicle recreation in any way.

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 nothing short of stealing from the very same citizens that willingly gave the state their hard earned money

If you don't know how to contact them, go to www.leg.wa.gov

Representative Kevin Van de Wege has been assigned to find more money to balance the budget.

He has his eye on your Nonhighway and Offroad Vehicle Activities account money.

You might want to suggest that he keeps his hands off your NOVA funds.

His email address:
