To the Honorable Members of the
Illinois Senate
93rd General Assembly
While I recognize that Off-Highway Vehicle enthusiasts desire expansion of recreational trails, this legislation could expose state-owned lands, including state parks, to potential trail development. More appropriate sites for Off Highway Vehicle use should be found that do not infringe on our shared natural resources.
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 2272, entitled “AN ACT concerning recreational trails.”
Sincerely,
ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH
Governor
