The Letter is titled:
Pataki and ATVs
I read, with interest, that Pataki toured the area on an ATV. This brings several questions to mind. Was the ATV registered and insured? Did he wear a helmet? If he happened to tread on private property, did he have written and signed permission to be there? Or did he ride on the state trails designated for ATV use? I guess that would be impossible, as there are none. ATV registrations have just seen a $15 increase that is supposed to go to a designated trail fund. Oops, that will be next year! Surprise, it goes to the general fund this year.
No happy trails for ATVs. Pataki, and his policies, are a joke. Casinos will bail us out. I first heard that over 30 years ago. While taxes rise and fiscal waste continues, casinos are still thankfully absent.
