From Wild Rockies (Enviro Group):

"BAD APPLE" LEADER OF THE BLUE RIBBON COALITION GETS BUSTED

The Forest Service frequently calls on organized motorized recreation
groups to self-police. The recent citation of the BlueRibbon Coalition's
director for illegal dirt bike guiding demonstrates the failure of the
agency's strategy of employing the fox to guard the henhouse. Bill Dart
was cited for exemplifying "bad apple" behavior on August 20th when a
Sawtooth National Forest officer encountered Dart providing paid,
backcountry motorcycle tours without an outfitters license. Forest
Service spokesman Ed Waldapfel said the fine is $250 and could be paid
by mail or contested in court.

Dart has been temporarily placed leave and Clark Collins, co-founder and
former director of the national off-road vehicle group, is now serving
as acting director in the interim.

The Associated Press reported that Jake Howard, director of the state
Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board, said that the board would likely
prosecute Dart for illegal outfitting if the Forest Service citation
stands up.

But Collins emphasized that "the plain fact of the matter is that in our
legal system he's innocent until proven guilty, and that's pretty much
where we're at."

So while this is making the news, how many articles do you see about foreign individuals poaching in our country? It's a problem in both the hunting and fishing communities. Oh wait......it's not *politically correct* to impose fines and/or imprisonment on those who enter our country illegally for the purpose of violating our laws and regulations. Mad
