Urgent: Legislative Support Need
ISSA Member,
Recently, our legislative committee had a conference call with our lobbyists,
Mike Heller and Paula Feltner. They reported to us that our bill is still stuck in a
sub-committee of the House Ways & Means and will go no further without
some more action on our part.
We need your help in bringing our bill SF192 to the floor for a vote. We need
you to call and/or email your representative within the next 48 hours. Using
your own words, here is the message we would like you to get across to your
representative.
"I am very much in favor of SF192, the bill to increase snowmobile
registration fees form $15 to $30. This increase is sorely needed to fund
Iowa's snowmobile program. The funds are used to develop and maintain a
safe trail system within the state of Iowa. We want to keep Iowa Snowmobilers
in the state of Iowa. Since the last increase in 2002 our cost have risen
dramatically, fuel alone has more than doubled. As my elected representative, I
want you to ask the House Leadership, Kraig Paulsen, Linda Upmeyer, and
Jeff Kaufmann, to bring the bill to the floor for a vote and for you to support the
bill."
- Other facts you may wish to state or include:
- Tax payers with no registered snowmobiles will not be impacted.
- Iowa has 5,000 miles of trails, yet spends 1/4-1/10 per mile of that of
surrounding states.
- Iowa snowmobiling generates over $81 million in revenue and
supports over 1,000 jobs.
- The fee increase is sponsored by the Iowa State Snowmobile
Association and has the support of the vast majority of registered
snowmobilers.
Thanks for your help and support!
Gary Burger
President-ISSA
