This tracking/tracing thing is a bunch of BS and I agree...turn off the tracking function! if you are a business owner and someone who tests positive lists you as a place they visited while they were infected, you could be getting a knock at your door to shutter, to me that's just a over step of power and you have to also hope the person tracing their steps is honest as well, wrong just wrong. On another note in a certain county north of here casino is permanently laying off 1000 workers, in a state that has a total of less than a 1000 deaths.... TOTAL!! yep....this was definitely a GOOD IDEA!!
yes it will
That’s bad no funds to repair bridges and level trails. MSA will have to allocate funds for brushing or they are writing us off this season.
MISORVA (was MSA) has no control of the funds. Hermie is referring to the MI DNR who is not releasing funds for maintenance or grading.
This is due to the Gov ordering all Govt departments they must freeze discretionary spending. Currently impacting the ORV program. We were not allowed to do any ORV trail maintenance or grading, even though the funds are from the ORV stickers, that are in a protected fund, with a balance, with contracts already in place.
DNR Trail staff have been fighting to get those funds released and have been partially successful now. We were able to brush and sign in June (2 months after normal), can do the second pass this summer and just in the last couple of days we've been allowed to start limited grading (our Club was approved for 1/3 of our contracted grading mileage). We are skeptical that all normally allocated funds will be allowed for expenditure to the ORV program.
The Snowmobile program has already been directly impacted, but will be worse if we don't keep pushing DNR to allow us to run the program as per normal. We are coming into paperwork season and soon will be brushing/signing. Major projects (ie bridges) are generally on hold right now.
While it's good for the Gov to say, "hey, we shot ourselves in the foot with this covid thing and so have no economy to bring in tax dollars, so let's not spend money unless we have to", it's bad for them to say "and don't spend any of that protected by law, user-generated, already contracted, program funding that makes for safe trails".

My feeling is the ones that closed just gave up and were likely on the way to closing anyways. I know several that are actually doing better then normal as Wisconsin is befitting from surrounding states not opening. Basically Wisconsin has been flooded with a lot of IL, IA, MN people who can now work from the cabin.
Or at least on Wednesday, January 20, 2021!

Quite instigating. You only come on here to cause distention. I doubt that it bothers you one bit that the sport that 99.99% of us on this board love will be negatively impacted by all this. Which means it also doesn't bother you about all the small business that we help support are also being hurt. They are good people just trying to live out their own dreams. Wish I had a fly swatter that worked on you.
Besides the obvious answer... "because they can" How can they do that?? are they looking ahead and not going to release the money in fear of the lack of migration or participation in the sport this season because of the fear mongering that is already occurring , scaring people about a time of the season isn't even here yet? if they aren't going to release it how can they collect it? I just don't get it and they could inevitably be sealing the fate of a very short profitable season for the north woods. This just falls again into the "I just don't get it" of these "unprecedented" times. What a crock of sh
Cases are still rising because of a massive increase in testing. Deaths have been dropping for months, and are currently the lowest since April. See for yourself: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm
I know this will be off subject but oh well...another 1.3 million people applied for unemployment pushing the total number over 50 MILLION many of which have YET to get a single check yet. Got word today our wonderful public school district ig going virtual!! REALLY??? when all the outlying rural areas are having in person!! My wife and I both work at our business and both of us NEED to be here so how are we supposed to home school??? and we are going to issue another stimulus package???? anybody working....shouldn't get it, anyone already supported buy the state, welfare, food stamps etc shouldn't get it, anyone on unemployment that is receiving the $963.00/week...shouldn't get it, How about helping those who haven't received any unemployment, or those that lost their livelihood and were forced to try to start over, or helping the farmers who have been taking it in the rear. This whole thing has become such a crock of crap. I told the local law enforcement to get some more ticket pads because as soon as our idiot gov mandates masks, im sorry Im not wearing it. Most of the people that are testing positive are "A" symptomatic, and you done hear about the record amount of negative tests. City of racine one of hardest hit areas and have "1" person in the ICU. And for those that once thought this was the right thing to do and now changed opinion because it is putting cramp on lifestyle... THIS IS NO BETTER IDEA THAN IT WAS THEN!! WHAT A JOKE!!! people need to start standing up, not to MAGA (make America great again) but MAKE AMERICA....AMERICA AGAIN!!!! This has gone beyond stupid!!!
The place I work at is hurting bigvtime. We've been on 32-36 hour work weeks since April. Two people on my team are gone permanently, the rest of us have doing voluntary lay offs. I took my turn, even though I'm the supervisor, for a month. Now that the 600 bucks is done, no one can afford to be on lay off. We do not have enough work for 8 of us.
I work in the crap hole of Dane county, I am now forced to wear a mask for my 9 hours. Everyday I go home with a heada headache now. ***. Screw your mask!

Skylar, these are the people who should be getting the stimulus and the help, I am very sorry to hear that things are that way, it angers me beyond belief, it is very frustrating that we are destroying our country and we still haven't seen all the effects of what we did and are continuing to do and I hear you about masks, waiting for them to mandate them here as I will refuse to wear it, I would probably need 3 or 4 a day at my shop, I don't care, not that I don't care about other people but I want to be exposed to whatever it may be, its my choice, if you are afraid to go out or get sick then YOU stay home and when or if they come out with a vaccine, Im not getting it, its MY choice. I am truly sorry to hear this about you and your work place, hopefully we will get our head out of our asses SOON and fix this before its too late.
Ya we have been asked about masking up here at our store. All I am telling people is Timmy boy Walz can come on down here and try to force me to mask up. There are 2 active cases in my county. Such total B S!!! This is so blantantly political it just drives me nuts. Gals at convience store today as I was stocking up asked me if I was having a party. I said no I just won't be coming in here with that stupid MN mask mandate. They said don't worry about it no one is enforcing it. Good. Just another reason i am glad I live where I live!! Screw you Walz and your mandates. We are watching our country crumble from within. We can't let the snowflakes win!!!
