The latest vandals with that attitude are in our Oklahoma State
Legislature; I was advised yesterday morning that they are developing a
secret plan to require emissions tests on all vehicles starting in 2005.
The citizens of the State demanded a while back that the Oklahoma
"safety check" be abandoned, so they no longer require it. It was a
bogus deal anyway. Now it seems they plan to bring it back, but with
California-style enviro-wacky fascist rules based on bad "science."
The person who told me this is very well informed and also said that so
far there's no exemption provision for classic cars and collector cars.
I plan to raise some hell about this.
