WSSA MEMBERS VISIT LEGISLATORS IN OLYMPIA (Mar '17) - Members of the Washington State Snowmobile Association (WSSA) made their annual trek to Olympia on January 24th to meet with legislators on issues important to snowmobilers throughout the state. The primary goal was to protect the dedicated snowmobile account funding. Funding for the snowmobile program, which pays for trail grooming, snow removal at trail heads, sanitation, law enforcement, and administration, comes from snowmobile registrations and a portion of the fuel tax on fuel used in snowmobiles.   WSSA’s “All Trails to Olympia Day” provides a great opportunity for snowmobilers throughout the state to meet face-to face with the legislators to explain our issues and concerns.  This year, 16 snowmobile enthusiasts participated in the event and also made ‘drop off’ visits to other offices to deliver our message. (The picture at left is of Cle Elum area snowmobilers meeting with Representative Tom Dent.  Pictured – L to R Howard Briggs, Joann Briggs, Kay Lloyd, Representative Dent, and Wayne Mohler.)
