Lee County Commission Chairman Ray Judah, Bonita Springs City Manager Gary Price and Bonita Springs City Councilman Bill Lonkart spoke at a town hall meeting Tuesday at Palmira. Subjects included road projects, stormwater drainage and the ongoing struggles with bringing Manna Christian mobile home park up to code.

But the fireworks didn't start until someone brought up the use of ATVs in the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed, which is a 60,000-acre area that includes part of Lee and Collier counties

Said one victim, "I was driving on Bonita Beach Road one night last weekend with my daughter and there was this kid on an ATV with no lights and his girlfriend on the back. I called (the sheriff's office) and this kid circled all the way around my car and said, 'You got a problem with me?' I'm sick of it. Anyone wanna buy my house?" Unfortuantely, we cannot deny that our hobby brings out the weakest human links in the food chain.

that worries me, becasue thats were i ride. i wish these idiots would stop riding on the road with no helmets and making us look like a bunch of careless idiots, if it weren't for them we wouldn't have any problems from these crazy old people becasue they would never even see us.

There are PLENTY ot STUPID drivers on the road, and we arent punished because of them. If they get caught, they get punished. We shouldnt all be punished for a few people. They would have less problems if they gave us legal places to ride. Then people will NOT have an excuse for riding illegally, and they can be punished how ever the state feels neccessary, but not all of us.

Here's my e=mail to Ray puta!


Dear Comissioner Judah. Your comment posted on the News Press newspaper about "ATV's should be banned form the face of the Earth"

http://www.news-press.com/article/20090130/NEWS0102/901300428/1004/ACC

is at the very least a reminder of what Adolf Hitler thought about the Jews as the rest of the world looked the other way. You're obviously are part of the leftist elite that knows what is best "for the rest of us" . We are allowed to participate along as long as we do not question or oppose your point of view. Here's a news flash for you sir. Swamp buggies and atv's were riding on those public lands way before the approved developments were put in place. You are nothing more than a HYPOCRITE!, what happened to all the "panther crossing" signs that were along the road that runs parallel to I-75 next to the airport, oh let me tell you, the signs were replaced with a beautiful building called the "panther" building. Only you would allow Lee cnty to pay 2 Miilion dollars to USFWS to do a panther study inside a gated area, the moving of the runway at RSW. I find it amazing that you approve all these developments but if someone comes along with their family to ride an atv, OMG the world has ended.

The only consolation that i have is that the carpet baggers that live close to those areas are getting up in age and soon they will meet their maker.


If Lee County or any other county cannot provide a safe and legal place to ride these machines, then have the county stop the sales of these vehicles, this is called Racketeering! I just hope none of us ever have to ride one of these vehicles in a search and rescue for anyone dear to you, maybe then you would appreciate the good that these vehicles can do. Remember that we as riders, have lent a hand before to the different Sheriffs dept in these type of activities and will continue to do when requested of us.
