Bill AB483 passed and is set to take effect October 1st 2019. This bill would require Nevadans to give odometer readings so that more taxes could potentially be raised to fund roadways. The state of Nevada already pays for roadways at the pump, one third of what is paid goes to the roadways. If the money going to the roads is not being used appropriately then the step is to look at the mismanagement of the money, not potentially tax more. We need to preserve our privacy and protect those that live in rural areas that must commute. Hunters, ranchers, off road enthusiasts and people who enjoy driving as a hobby would be having to sacrifice the joy of traveling to these locations. Nevada has open lands so that offroading and these activities can be enjoyed. Many people would stop going because they can not afford the tax.This is an invasion of privacy and the government being too overbearing on it it's people. Please sign the petition to let lawmakers know that Nevadans do not need their government to invade their constitutional rights. We need lawmakers to make better choices for the people without restricting the pursuit of happiness or taxation of hobbies and recreation of the BLM lands.WE THE PEOPLE!!

Dear Supervisor Rodoni, We immensely appreciate your recent efforts to, at long last, reach a compromise that preserves The Last Resort (http://thelastresortlagunitas.org) David Lee Hoffman's property, as a historic landmark. As the process of working with David progresses, we must express the imperative to reinstate Marin County's own Architectural Commission's ruling that David's site is historically important. This would allow the use of the California Historic Building Code as a guideline and protections this code offers. Reinstating the Commission's ruling is ethical and allows for long-awaited progress in complying with reasonable code upgrades and an ultimate resolution.   We do not want to lose The Last Resort, nor do we want to lose David  as a friend, neighbor, and contributor to our community. We feel that David is a visionary who, during the past 40 years, has created solutions to climate change issues that we face as a global community. These solutions lie in the very structures and systems that stand to be destroyed if the Commission's unanimous ruling continues to be discounted or ignored. We believe the demolition of his work would severely endanger the health, safety, beauty and tranquility of Marin County - and the potential for large-scale solutions that David's innovation provides. We request that Marin County, through their receiver, reinstate their own Commission's unanimous ruling, which declared that David's property deserves local historic status. You, too, recently stated in your January 31, 2017 letter to the appointed receiver, “Furthermore, please consider this an official request from my office to include architectural and cultural value determinations on the Hoffman property in your final recommendations.”  The reinstatement of the County Architectural Commission ruling would be the final step in bringing closure to the issue of preserving as much of David’s site as possible without interfering with the work of the receiver.   We believe that if David loses, we all lose -- and we believe the solution is outlined by the steps in this petition.  We are truly thankful to have you addressing these issues. By signing this petition we support the reinstatement of the Marin County Architectural Commission resolution that all 36 structures on the 2-acre property of David Lee Hoffman in Lagunitas constitute a cultural and historic landmark of local importance. Signed,
