How many government decision makers are ATV enthusiasts?

Apparently, some pro-ATV provincial officials in Canada used state funds to purchase some kiddie ATVs and the resulting controversy has stirred a call for a wider investigation of how all ATV-related regulations are being implemented.

The retired journalist who penned this guest editorial in a Halifax newspaper suggests that the Department of Natural Resources is getting pressured to forestall ORV route closures. Perhaps this points to a need to initiate a similar investigation in the Western US.
