NYSSA RALLIES AGAINST STATE "RAID" ON SNOWMOBILE TRAIL FUND
February 12, 2010, Albany, NY - Calling Governor David A. Paterson's state budget proposal, "a betrayal of the trust between his administration and our 150,000 members," the New York State Snowmobile Association (NYSSA) vowed to fight a multi-year, multi-million dollar state raid of the snowmobile trail development and maintenance fund.
"The money in the trail fund is critical to support trail maintenance activities," said Michael Fischer, President of NYSSA. "It is money paid exclusively by snowmobilers for costs directly associated with the state and snowmobile club responsibilities for the development and maintenance of the statewide trail system. The state's attempt to take this money for other purposes could threaten the safety of the trail system and certainly the long-term viability of the trail fund," Fischer charged.
This unprecedented sweep is being proposed less than two years after a previous attempt to take $1 million during the 2008-2009 budget process was avoided with the understanding by NYSSA and its supporters that similar raids would not be attempted in the future. Governor Paterson stated in a press release at the time that the state would "ensure that money from these registration fees will be spent in a way that specifically benefits snowmobilers... solely on trail maintenance and related program activities."
