Trans 123 has officially been sent back to DOT. The vote on Wed. was 7-0 in favor of sending it back. Per agreement, this question will be taken up by the legislature next session. However, Trans123 is not defeated. IF it ever resurfaces, the legislature will only have TEN DAYS within which...

She probably already drives a Prius. ?? Each to their own. I just spoke with Rep. Steinbrink's office. They are confident this is halted for now. They want to see the issue addressed through legislative methods next year. We'll see what happens. Paul

Just in. Sen. Holperin has decided to deal with Trans123, by ballot. At most this will send trans123 back to DOT for "modifications". This is unfortunate since it precludes the possibility of a vote to reject it totally. If/when it is reintroduced by DOT, the committees would only have 10...

Lame. That's an understatement. In answer to the question about a 1973 Porsche, the DOT's attorney stated that several models would be OK, but not the 959. Well, a two second search reveals that the 959 didn't even go into production until 1985. I love the idea. Maybe we can make some...

Dennis, PM sent. Ziggy, Did ya watch her in action? Can you believe what some people can say with a straight face??? It was mentioned that DOT sends Carson because she's such a nice old lady that nobody will give her too hard a time. You notice that the DOT's attorney, Paul Nilsen, didn't...

Trukhead, Sorry. Ask WisDOT. They are the ones with the axe to grind. I apologize if the topic is tiresome, but the alternative seems to be giving up our vehicles. Until I decide to part with it (and someone comes up with the appropriate cash to convince me), I'll fight to preserve what I...

Monty, Well, even though you may not be able to show up during the week, you CAN still play a part in this just by contacting your elected officials. They listen to their voters. Remember, they listen MOST to a phone call or a letter. Emails are still often underappreciated. BUT, you can...

Well, the Public Hearing on TRANS123 was yesterday. I didn't see any SS members there, but we managed to attract a few dozen folks, all opposed to it. I hope you guys managed to at least write in with your opinions, or register on our petition form. Many thanks to all who participated...

Hi Poof, Yes, it should be M-715 Kaiser Jeep Pickup. Don't tell me, let me guess, this was just a DOT "typo". But do you think it'd be enough that they'd try to refuse to register an M-715? (I do) According to the new law (Act 225 - the "Pinzgauer" law), only the four listed make/models can...

Ya want more proof that WisDOT is infested with fascists?? Check this out! They are so unable to treat citizens fairly, they came up with some new hoops to make milveh owners jump through. Unlike ALL other Wisconsin collector plate applicants, milveh owners are not eligible for temp...

ABN173, Thanks. It's not my choice, but considering the work I put in fighting WisDOT's efforts to outlaw milvehs, I've got the info to fight this newest crap too. I'm less concerned about any one vehicle than I am about the way WisDOT is pursuing their agenda. IF they've got a sound argument...

Figures? Read what I just received from one of the local hot-rodders: (This was originally in the form of separate replies to emails, I think. I pass it on, because vehicle collectors of all stripes seem to be under attack.) Hot Rod Gloom? We should maybe come to the party, Boys. On one...

I think we already have a pretty good idea of who's behind this. Late last year in a meeting with Sen. Holperin, WisDOT Atty. Paul Nilsen pointed the finger at WisDOT Exec. Christopher Klein. Klein, in turn, then pointed his finger at WisDOT Secretary Frank Busalacchi, a sackless turd who...

VTwin, Richard just wrote. He's in Europe, but will contact me when back. He's interested in this. Paul

This appears to be correct. This is from the Wis. Legislative Notification system: Subject: vehicle Topic "Clearinghouse Rule 09-044" has been scheduled for a public hearing by Committee on Transportation, Tourism, Forestry, and Natural Resources in the Senate. Date/time: September 22...

Just in from the Capitol: Sen. Holperin will convene a Public Hearing on TRANS-123, but the date has not yet been set. I will post it when I get it. I'm advised that we need a TON of people to show up. This may not seem like a milveh issue, and it isn't one directly. But it is a "Collector"...

VTwin, I wrote to him (Richard) a couple days ago, but got no reply. I just wrote again, and forwarded the link to this thread. Perhaps if you know these guys, and have the time, you might make a phone call. I don't know what more to do. Thanks for the input. Paul

This is just in from SEMA regarding things: Urgent Regulatory Alert - Wisconsin It's a printable copy. Pass it on.

Oh, I almost missed this one. If you want some insight into things here, check this out regarding "border states". Forgive me if this is a repeat. This SHOULD have already made the rounds. This is Wisconsin, ENJOY... WBIR.com | Knoxville, TN | Wisconsin politician argues that Arizona is not...
