*****SAMPLE COMMENT*****
Dear Riverside County Planning Commission:
My name is <<<INSERT YOUR NAME AND ORGANIZATION>>>.
I am writing to state my opposition to this
proposed AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 348 - Land
Use Ordinance of Riverside County. The proposed
ordinance amendment proposes to add Article XIXf
that provides development and siting standards
for off highway vehicle usage within the
unincorporated areas of Riverside County.
Off highway vehicle recreation is the fastest
growing sport in the region, passing golf and
tennis, that so many planners spend millions on
to develop.
Riverside County has provided no OHV riding
opportunity for its residents. Yet, the County
is embarking on an effort to deny its residents
the opportunity to use their private property for
OHV riding. The proposed amendment assigns
overly restrictive criteria to the use of private
property.
Please keep me informed on any issues dealing with OHV in Riverside County.
Please enter this on your record as "OPPOSED to
the proposed Amendment" at the October 20, 2004
meeting.

New Development in the Sage-Grouse Campaign
For Immediate Release: Oct. 15, 2004
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS LAUNCH NEW OFFENSIVE
AGAINST PROPOSED SAGE-GROUSE LISTING
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Thirty Members of Congress
from both political parties are warning the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service not to list the Greater

listing could damage existing conservation

Wildlife Service not to list the Greater
Sage-grouse as 'endangered' or 'threatened' under

Congressional Representatives wrote. "We believe

successful state and local Sage-grouse
conservation efforts already underway.
