Needed: A Breath of Fresh Air in the Missouri Senate

April 10, 2021

 

When I lived in Idaho, one county stubbornly refused to require emissions testing, until they couldn’t put it off any longer. Once they did that, I discovered that a mountain range that I had only caught occasional glimpses of over the years was visible every day!

For reasons that are not clear to me, the Missouri State Senate wants to eliminate emissions testing for St. Louis and the surrounding counties. They’re committed to this course of action, even though it means putting $52 million in federal funding at risk.  

 

Maybe they’re worried that too much breathable air makes people think clearly, thus jeopardizing the legislators’ positions.
