The California Department of Boating and Waterways (Cal Boating) provides the Trinity County Sheriff’s Department $114,543 through the Boating Safety and Enforcement Financial Aid Program, and this funding would be lost if Cal Boating is eliminated. This could mean that our Sheriff's boat would no longer be funded by the county.
We just got word on this proposal by the Gov. If this happens our boating enforcement program will be gone 100% The county can not afford to replace these funds. This is the first time the Gov. has brought this up in all the discussions regarding the Law Enforcement cuts he is proposing.
Contact State Legislators NOW to Stop Your Boater Fees From Being Hijacked!
Unless boaters act now, Cal Boating will be gone in 3 months, the boating advocacy group Recreational Boaters of California warns.
Please take a moment to e-mail your California state representatives: Send them a message to show your support for Cal Boating!
To locate your individual representative, please refer to this Web site:

So all the taxes we pay as boaters, marine fuel tax,ect. that were used to improve our boating experience will be gone, absorbed by the state to pay for non boating related services
