UPDATE: Vehicle Weight Increase on MA State Land
Mark Dupont of the North East Association of 4-Wheel Drive Clubs (NEA4WDC)
has supplied the following excerpt. This excerpt is in regards to the Bill
to increase the current vehicle weight limit of 1000-pounds on state land.
Mark heads the legislative arm of the NEA4WDC's Massachusetts Land Access
Committee, and is the Massachusetts state government contact. He has been
working hard to introduce legislation that, if passed will expand our
recreational opportunities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The first
response, when asked why our vehicles cannot be used on state land, is the
standing 1000-pound weight-limit rule.
Senate Docket #2276 report.
As of 1/29/04, Senator Brian Joyce's office reports these findings: that
because the proposed Bill was filed late, and because the proposed Bill is
considered controversial, there is a strong possibility that the Docket may
not make it to committee. It was suggested that we let it stay the course
and die, then re-file in November 2004... I asked, "what can we do to try
and push this initiative further up the food chain..."
I was told by Senator Brian Joyce that, "the CONSTITUENT MUST CONTACT THEIR
INDIVIDUAL SENATOR AND REQUEST THAT SENATE DOCKET # 2276 BE SENT TO
COMMITTEE/HEARING. In doing so, the initiative will have a better chance of
surviving."
WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO
What does this mean? People MUST begin contacting their respective Senators
DIRECTLY! When the state contact was asked what difference the petitions
were making, they said we need to contact our individual Senators because
these "State Senators are only interested in the needs/concerns of their own
constituents."
Just email, fax, call, or write your State Senator and request that Senate
Docket #2276 be sent to Committee. It really is that simple and will only
take a moment.

People like Mark Dupont and the others on the Massachusetts Land Access
Committee can only do so much. Without you doing your part, the efforts of
the Committee members are in vain. So please, take a moment to show your
support and send your request to YOUR Massachusetts State Senator today!
Thank you very much.
Happy Trails.
