[QUOTE="jbain8, post: 584188, member: 12283"] WV is in a very tough place with the coal industry dwindling and residence leaving the state looking for work. Teachers are being layed off due to shrinking classroom sizes and lawmakers are looking for innovative ways to bring in revenue. A tax dollar spent on targeting a vacationing family will bring a family into WV once every few years. They will eat a couple meals, buy a tank of fuel and spend the night in a hotel. However you spend that same dollar on an off-road enthusiast and he'll come back multiple times per year and spend gobs more money. I was lucky enough to be part of a Senate Sub Committee in Feb working on WV Senate Bill 485, this bill will create a generic trail authority based on HMT's current wording. Long story short it will allow any county in the state to set up an offroad park and adopt SB485 which will govern the oversite, payment, leasing, 3rd party vendors ect ect. It took HMT years to get all their code through WV lawmakers, this bill will satisfy that requirement. There is a lot of other cool legislation going on in WV right now and with our brothers out west loosing land daily it's nice to see our side of the country opening land instead of closing it.
