Olympia, WA. 98504-0002


Dear Governor Gregoire:
As you know, the NOVA account consists of monies from off-road vehicle license tab fees and funds raised when off-road vehicle users waived their right to a fuel-tax refund. Off-road vehicle enthusiasts were told that the money raised through these funds would go towards developing and managing recreational opportunities for users of back-country trails and non-highway roads.

I believe this shifting of dollars from the NOVA account is unfairly being placed into the general fund. The funds raised by off-road vehicle fees which were specifically set aside for recreational projects will now be used for other unrelated purposes in the operating budget. This is an irresponsible budget shell game. Furthermore, these funds are protected by the Washington State Constitution, Pursuant to Article II, Section 40 these monies must be used for their intended purpose or refunded. The State Supreme court has repeatedly reaffirmed this requirement. I ask that you veto this portion of the budget.

Thank you for your support.

...and I mean done. :thu:
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.
