Well I have been waiting to write this in hopes we would get some change but so far nothing is coming. The DNR is holding ALL our money from our trail permits last year and ALL of the grooming clubs do not have start up money with none promised to come. The DNR rewrote their manual this year and want the grooming clubs to sign it, which will make the grooming clubs give back the groomers in 5 years to the DNR, who did not purchase them. WE purchase them with our trail permits. The used groomers will become theirs to sell and do with what they want. The grooming clubs are standing on their own and telling the DNR to stuff it, so they are holding all our money and not going to issue the grooming organizations any gas money, which is called start up funds.

I am trying to make this as brief as possible and hope I am making an involved problem short and hope I am coming across.

MSA is fighting with them and trying to clear this up but the DNR is standing tough and telling us to bag it. Not one grooming club has received a nickel to pay their bills for this year and things are getting tough.

If you have a legislator or State senator you can get involved in would be greatly appreciated. If you don’t belong to the MSA, join now they are fighting hard for us.
