STATE SENATOR ADAM KLINE LASHES OUT AT SNOWMOBILERS return to top - State Senator Adam Kline, (37th District, Seattle), lashed out at snowmobilers and all OHV users with an e-mail comment sent on February 27th. In responding to an e-mail asking why he had signed on to SB 5544, a very restrictive OHV noise bill, the Senator replied:

"Dear Mr. (Name removed),

I signed on because I have been annoyed, endangered, and angered one too many times by people riding motorized dirt-bikes and other off-road vehicles that have no damn business anywhere. To me, this bill is narrow--it doesn't include those "personal watercraft," seemingly jet-powered little missiles whose only apparent purpose is to risk death and dismemberment for boaters and swimmers, for the amusement of spoiled drunk teenagers.

Yes, I am sure there is the occasional responsible person who rides one of these machines on land or water. And yes, like every human being I have been pleasantly surprized to find my stereotypes broken. But why, why, why, do folks insist on motorized "sports"? Those two words are an oxymoron. There is nothing sporting--athletic, physically demanding--about riding any machine anywhere. And it's a damned annoyance to folks who see the outdoors as a place to go for quiet and solitude and self-exploration. I would be happy to ban the use of the internal combustion engine off-road, by anyone without a handicapped sticker, subject to a stiff fine. Maybe we could call this an anti-obesity measure.

Please circulate this to all motorized sports enthusiasts, so they can remember never to vote for me.

Adam Kline"

Senator Kline later told Seattle Times reporter Elliott Wilson that snowmobilers have ruined ski trips for him and his daughter, they make noise and pollute.
The Senator has since acknowledged he sent the e-mail while "angry", but went on to say "...there is no statement of fact I want to take back. Anger aside, it's true."

What an asshat. And people like this are representatives of the "people"....

[redline61]

I can't stand narrow minded people. I can understand that it sucks when you are out for a hike with your daughter and some complete asshat blows by you with out even an apology but things like that happen. I hate Skateboarders, but I'm not about to go around trying to ban them from riding around. I can also understand that there is a need to have separate trails out there for motorized and non-motorized use. I actually support that idea. But how can anyone one say that these Americans shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the outdoors. I just don't understand some people.

I think we should take this Fag out for a trail run and show him how to have a good time Maybe we can get him to get his head out of his ass and have fun and stop being s YUPPIE

If I would have known, I would have gone for sure !

[ColdJeep]

What a fawking jackass

[roc krawler]

I understand what he's saying and the fact that he was pissed when we said it......buttttttt. Thats why they have places that dont allow motorized vehicles ie( lakes, streams, horse trails, running trails, etc. FN go there if that's what you want and leave use alone...I dont like quads and bikes running me off the trail (thats why i dont move anymore..im bigger...LOL) and thats why they have alot of places to go where rigs aren't allowed. shit give use a little more room to go and you'd probably never here from use again...anyway can't wait for voting time again to send that azz back the p.t.a. or the sierra club..
