New York State is using your tax dollars to damage private businesses.

The State has announced it is going to spend millions and millions of tax dollars to make Belleayre Ski Center (operated by the Department of Environmental Conservation) 62 percent larger than it is now. Despite a bad economy, a budget deficit and multi-million dollar losses at Belleayre, the DEC continues to upgrade, expand, and compete unfairly with private ski resorts.

For the past two years, despite receiving more than $2.5 million in funding, Belleayre LOST $1 million a year.

They did that while giving away free passes and low-cost tickets that robbed business from private resorts and damaged the economies of the communities they are in.

It's sure to get worse if Belleayre and DEC continue on the path they're on now. Please join us. Learn the facts. Let your voice be heard - sign our petition to State Officials. Thank you for your help.
