Repeal the Chappie-Z'Berg legislation that skims $65 million a year from tax we pay at the pump in California. This money goes to the Off-Highway Vehicle Division (OHV) of State Parks and Recreation and to support the off-highway vehicle industry and its users at the expense of public health and safety and the environment. While State Parks close for lack of funding, the OHV hoards and hides millions. Our gas tax purchased the landlocked Oceano Dunes State Recreation Area, OHV's main attraction, and appropriated a public beach for its access, endangering pedestrians, especially children. The activities generate dust (PM10) which surpasses health standards, endangering those downwind who cannot breath.
