Sneak Attack On Mount Jefferson
Dear friends,
As you know, BRC and other snowmobile groups have been working to keep Mount Jefferson open for a long time. The new Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest planning process resulted in a compromise solution that kept most of the popular snowmobile areas open. This compromise represents a hard-fought and, sadly, uncommon victory for the snowmobile community.
The anti snowmobile groups have convinced Senator Jon Tester from Montana to throw that hard fought compromise down the toilet.
According to Sen. Tester's staff, the intent of the bill is to mirror the Forest Plan and actually opens up snowmobiling areas. Yet, the closure of Mt. Jefferson is a substantial deviation from that plan. The bill would close what the snowmobile community fought so hard to keep open, and it adds insult to injury for anyone to suggest differently.
This is extremely serious. Tester's bill is scheduled for hearings in the Senate Subcommittee on Public Lands and Forests December 17, 2009.
