Why should the Nevada Rider Program Continue to Exist?

OFF THE WIRE
From the minutes of the Quarterly Nevada Rider Safety Board held in Oct. 2011:  http://www.nevadarider.com/

Lily Gonzales, ... shared her concerns and a list of reasons why she believes the Nevada Rider Motorcycle Safety Program should be discontinued. Ms. Gonzales asked that a serious discussion of the following items concerning the Nevada Rider Program be placed on the agenda for our next Motorcycle Advisory Board Meeting:

The program has undermined the rights of motorcyclists.

It has undermined motorcycle tourism.

It continues to work with mainstream media to blame motorcyclists when there is a motorcycle accident.

It has failed to demonstrate its effectiveness to reduce deaths or accidents.

It has participated in being less than truthful to our Senators during legislative sessions by siding with law enforcers whose only agenda appears to be control and domination over motorcyclists rather than safety.

It has disproportionately allocated funds among the various parts of the State.

It has showed bad faith by moving a meeting to an earlier date in an apparent effort to exclude members of the public and media.

It is run by a retired cop that is compensated by contract in order to not adversely impact his pension.

It is unable to describe how it is that a rider can know for certain if they are complying with Nevada’s helmet law.

It makes up meeting rules on the spot to muzzle people with serious questions.

Ms. Gonzales stated that she will have documentation to support these statements at the next Motorcycle Advisory Board meeting.
