Here go Mary Nichols and Jerry Brown again. Another power play by these 2 zealots. make no doubt about it, they are trying to force their beliefs on all of us. I swear smog is their religion and they are religious zealots. If you do not agree with them they find a way to make you pay for it (literally).
CARB (CA Air Resources Board) already cleaned up the air in Southern Cal. and Nichols and Brown are still fighting to make CARB larger. Instead of spending $500,000 for office furniture last year (for the El Monte offices of CARB), maybe the Govenor should cut the size of CARB in half and use that money some place that it is needed.
I really liked the reference to NASCAR. Why not push NASCAR to run on Ethanol? That would make more sense.
But the thing that upsets me the most is all the school buses and other government trucks, that I see every day kicking out more pollution than 100 motorcycles. Somehow, CARB, needs to be forced to use their budget to clean up government vehicles pollution issues before they are allowed to make regulations that cause the average taxpayer more money.

Answer to B*A*M*F*. My CJ-7 Jeep Wrangler was brought out here from Texas and passed a Smog Check with flying colors but because it wouldn’t pass a visual look of the engine, it was failed. Go Figure.

why only california? also the statistics of pollution of motor driven cycles have never been as smoged vechiles? why now? the rate of a smog certificate for motorcycles plus automobiles are extensive.. unfair to citzens. trains and busses public transportation increases the smog cituation to what limit? not much sense smoging private vechiles and untouchable public service vechiles go scott free which are actually the gross poluters.also diesiel trucks that run america? so tell me which is the true culprit if any?
