#1228, "RE: Prop 40 threat to anglers"
In response to In response to 14
|
I have to admit that I was pretty confused and not convinced to vote no yet. In researching Prop 40 I read this post from Dean Sault over on NCBF that convinced me to vote no:
"There's not one word in this proposition about boats or motors. But, among many other things, it provides up to $832,500,000 for "local assistance programs". This money will be awarded as grants to any government OR nonprofit organization for the purpose of the "California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002".
Guess who are qualified as "nonprofit" organizations and will undoubtedly have staffs of "grant writers" submitting proposals for this money? Yep! The Blue Water Network! And, a host of other radical environmental groups.
And in addition, there are several specified "grants" written right into the law...special allocations (that means special interests or pork-barrel politics) for the following:
Central Park of Rancho Cucamonga ($10,000,000) City of Los Angeles for parks ($5,000,000) City of Los Angeles for Sepulveda Basin parkland ($5,000,000)
Wonder why Los Angeles gets their own special funds? Then we have another section of the law that allocates money as follows:
State Coastal Conservancy ($200,000,000) California Tahoe Conservancy ($40,000,000 - these are the same people that got 2-strokes banned on Lake Tahoe.) SantaMonica Mountains Conservancy ($40,000,000) Coachella Valley Mountains Convervancy ($20,000,000) San Juan River Conservancy ($25,000,000) San Gabriel and Lower LA Rivers and Mountains Conservancy ($40,000,000) Baldwin Hills Conservancy ($40,000,000) San Francisco Bay Area Conservancy ($40,000,000)
And HERE'S THE BIGGEST THREAT!!! $50,000,000 to the California Air Resources Board (the CARB Nazi's)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's a lot more in this Prop 40 that I don't have time to investigate further. But, it does not say one word about boats or outboard motors...just about protecting our water. And, it just gives hundreds of millions of dollars to the agencies that are responsible for recent attacks on our way of life. Draw your own conclusions!
NO on Prop 40!
