I recently met with Senator Simitian on the OHV $$ grab.
Info here: Budman's meeting with Senator Joe Simitian on OHV funding
Joe is a long time "career" politician and his committee chair on this issue that will put the OHV Park system at risk within a couple of years and his moving forward with it even though it has not been deemed legal is enough for me to oppose his run for Supervisor, let alone his disinformation to his constituents.
Joe has already served on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors and has spent almost 30 years as a politician. Lets give someone else a chance to serve, someone that can be honest and forthright.*
From my sources I understand that in meetings with Senator Simitian he and his staff have told representatives of the OHV community that he does not care about OHV and he will get the money he wants.*

See this link for how he treated *California Off-Road Vehicle Association (CORVA) Managing Director, Amy Granat at a recent hearing:*
Assembly Meeting (look at around the 2hour and 20 minute mark)
Senator Simitian has met with the California State Parks Foundation and PEER Director, Karen Schambach. He indicated this was their plan and so he is moving forward to try and win over voters in Santa Clara County for his upcoming election.
Joe also has received an endorsement from the Sierra Club for his run and he is using this issue to make himself look more "green".
Make no mistake, no matter what he says this will lead to the closure of many OHV areas over the next 2-3 years.*
Kris Wang running against him,she is OHV friendly. Time to vote out those that oppose the shared use of lands by all groups and use these types of issues to hype their own publicity.
