24 Million this time and sponsored by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). This really affects you guys out west spread the word.... http://www.amadirectlink.com/legisltn/rapidresponse.asp "The Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources has scheduled a hearing on May 5 to consider H.R. 980, the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA). This legislation was introduced by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). It will designate 24 million acres as Wilderness and components of the National Wilderness Preservation System in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. This Wilderness designation will make the land off-limits to off-highway riders. With the Wilderness bill (Omnibus Public Land Management Act) recently signed into law, that prohibited off-highway vehicle (OHV) use on over 2 million acres, this Congress now feels emboldened to continue pressing for passage of even more Wilderness bills that would take away additional OHV trails enjoyed responsibly by your friends and family."
Coming from a state where they close everything that they can and have ridiculous "red sticker" season and model designations all I can say is::foul:
Hey now..........shes not from NY......Just moved there from N.C. to take a job.......her district covers East Manhattan and Queens. Very much like another southern woman who moved on up in NY politics........Don't color all us NY'ers the devil now. Joe
I followed the link and took action but I can always count on all politicians in NJ to vote for any legislation that favors closing public lands.
