Wasetful Spending<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
There are already so many trails in this area. So many, that they aren’t being used enough. Some are on the verge of closing, from lack of use and\/or lack of funds to take care of them. Why begin another massive trail that will only fall into disrepair.<\/h3>\n
With so many other things needing funding, the money needs to be used for better projects.<\/h3>\n

Hunting and Gun Rights:<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
The trail will shut down access that has been used for hunting. The railroad bed has served as a service route for hunters to park. Without this, hunters may have to walk miles to just get to where they used to park.<\/h3>\n
As the population increases using this trail from urban areas, there is a possiblity that gun ordinances will follow. The more people there are, the more restrictions happen.<\/h3>\n

The Citizens have not had the right to vote on this, and probably never will. It’s taxation without represention, otherwise a State Dictatorship.<\/h3>\n
Pork Barrelling<\/span>: Money has been set aside in the state budget before the project has even been researched. The amount of closed-door and underhanded tactics are staggering.<\/h3>\n

Enviromental Impact<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
The construction of this trail will cause disruption of eagle and other wildlife habitat, and will increase traffic congestion and unwanted maintenance activities.<\/span><\/h3>\n
Additional noise and air pollution from vehicular traffic will effect local residents negatively, along with problems with trash, drainage, and runoff. Eminent domain is being talked about to handle drainage and runoff.<\/span><\/h3>\n
