ATV opponents majority of radio show callers
Wisconsin Public Radio’s regional call-in show Route 51 yesterday featured a debate between opponents and proponents of ATVs in the NH-AL.
Out of seven callers heard live on the air during the hour-long program, five eloquently objected to ATVs being allowed in the state forest.
This was the case despite the Wisconsin ATV Association president issuing a plea to his members to call in to the program and counter critics of the ATV trail plan for the NH-AL. Although the notice mentioned me, the editor of Silent Sports, as a kind of bogeyman, I was not one of those who called in. Apparently, I didn’t have to.
As one of three in-studio guests, Sue Drum of Northwoods Citizens for Responsible Recreation ably defended the current NH-AL prohibition against ATVs.
If WPR posts the program online, I will provide a link.
