LAWSUIT FILED CHALLENGING PLAN TO ALLOW ORVS ON INYO COUNTY ROADS —

INDEPENDENCE, Calif.— The Center for Biological Diversity and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility took action today to hold Inyo County accountable to adequately review the environmental impacts of an ill-conceived pilot project to allow off-road vehicles to use county roads. In a lawsuit filed in California Superior Court today, the two conservation organizations challenged the county’s recent approval of a procedure that would allow non-street-legal vehicles to use county roads without the environmental review required by California law.

BRC ECO LAWSUIT ALERT

CALIFORNIA - Outrageous Flag Day Present from Radical CBD/PEER Alliance

Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,

Most Americans celebrate Flag Day today by hoisting the Flag at their homes or places of business. Radical environmental groups? They file lawsuits.

Don Amador, BRC's Western Rep, sent us the latest lawsuit, and it is the next in a long line from the Center for Biological Diversity and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. This lawsuit attempts to tell how Inyo County, California, manages its roads.

You can read their alert here: http://www.peer.org/news/news_id.php?row_id=1596

I can think of a much better way to celebrate Flag day. How about a donation to BRC's legal program? Click here.

If BRC isn't your OHV org of choice, please donate to another. The point is to get in the habit of regular financial support, in addition to membership dues.

The thing is... No public lands advocacy effort can affect access on the ground without a continual and effective presence in the court and no OHV advocacy has the funding sources these radicals do. ALL OHV advocacy groups depend on donations from their members and supporters.

Don told me BRC will be reviewing this issue with the local and state OHV groups, and others as well. So as we so often say, stay tuned.

Thanks in advance and, as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact BRC.
