ATV operator intentions questioned

It's not the casual users. The reliable and responsible drivers of All Terrain and Utility Terrain vehicles cause few problems and bring valued tourism trade to Price County.

Park Falls Police Chief Scott Straetz says he's not concerned with those riders and he is indifferent to the current amendments to county ordinances that would allow the vehicles to be ridden on the pavement of Price County Highways.
