Hello Wisconsin Owners,
I am Paul Underwood from Blue Mounds, WI. This topic interests me, because my registration got cancelled last Sept. for my Pinzgauer, and antique Austrian ex-mil truck. I'd been registered for over 5 years!!
They didn't cancel the registration on my Deuce and 1/2.
I'd like to talk to you.
I have a hearing scheduled for July 14 with the Dept. Of Admin. Div. of Hearings and Appeals.
WisDOT is talking statute 341.10(6). This is a statute for "off-highway" vehicles. NOT OUR TRUCKS.
This is a change of policy which WisDOT made in late '06, without legislative change. It probably does not pass muster, legally.
DMV has tried this before. I'm trying to get my registration reinstated. I was in the Isthmus newspaper several weeks ago, and on Ch. 27 & 47 news the next weekend. We have a website set up to give more info. It's being updated with current changes. It's at:
http://www.wisconsin-pinzgauers.org/
Below is the list of evidence which I submitted for my hearing, FYI
Regulatory Agencies acting with no more authority than "just because we can" has never sat well with the American public. Remember, this country was founded because Americans have never been happy with "because we can" as justification for Governmental Actions... we didn't stand for it then and we should not stand for that kind of behavior now. They will only get this if we scream loudly at them.
Please PM me or call (60
437-3465.
Thanks,
Paul
