Judge Rejects Yellowstone Snowmobile Ban
Posted on: Friday, 15 October 2004, 06:00 CDT
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - A federal judge on Friday struck down a ban on snowmobiles in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, calling it a "prejudged, political" move.
The decision could clear the way for new rules that allow the machines.
U.S. District Judge Clarence Brimmer ruled that the Clinton-era ban was invalid because it did not involve adequate public participation and failed to follow federal law.
The rule was "the product of a prejudged, political decision to ban snowmobiles from all the national parks," Brimmer wrote in an opinion.
