We've made some good progress in trying to simplify trail maintenance stickers for OHVs vs. full registrations. Also learned yesterday many people don't know that with a "Restricted Use" OHV plate, you can drive your OHV (ATV, UTV, Motorbike) on all streets NOT specifically closed by a public meeting of your city, county, BLM or Forest Service. You can not drive a Restricted Use plated vehicle on State Highways or Freeways. (This was done by H602 in 2008) <br/><a href="http://chumly.com/n/1ddcf1c">http://chumly.com/n/1ddcf1c</a>Sen.

I now have a much better understanding of the District's funding mechanisms and contractual relationships with Health and Welfare and DEQ for the services they provide. If only we could get the good parts of WIC and SNAP programs (Cards from SNAP and types of food purchase limits from WIC, both run by the Federal Dept. of Ag) we would end up with a very trackable program that would help get people healthier and ensure proper food is being purchased with the SNAP cards. (SNAP = Foodstamps) <br/><a href="http://chumly.com/n/1dc1dfc">http://chumly.com/n/1dc1dfc</a>Sen.

Esto Perpetua! The words are traced back to the Venetian theologian and mathematician Paolo Sarpi (1552-1623), also known as Fra Paolo. The day before his death he had dictated three replies to questions on affairs of state, and his last words were "Esto perpetua" reportedly in reference to his beloved Venice and translated as "Mayest thou endure forever!" When the designer of the Idaho state seal Emma Edwards Green described the motto on the seal, she translated it as "It is perpetuated" or "It is forever". <br/><a href="http://chumly.com/n/1d9f24e">http://chumly.com/n/1d9f24e</a>Sen.

Case in point is how China and Russia play with POTUS like a cat does with a mouse before it... well you get my point. It truly saddened me to hear Putin say yesterday "Dealing with the US is like shearing a pig, lot's of squealing but no wool"...

Winder did a good job at the Central Valley Expressway meeting this morning talking about where we are with concerns over road funding and infrastructure. Then spent some quality time at the Boise City Club listening and talking to Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, regarding US immigration reform (which he supports). He had some very interesting and valid points. My favorite was regarding the 4 million coming into this country every year that don't know English, pay taxes or obey our laws! <br/><a href="http://chumly.com/n/1d6dea0">http://chumly.com/n/1d6dea0</a>Sen.
