NY officials want older trucks fitted with emission-reducing equipment; cost put at $195M

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York is taking steps to reduce diesel emissions in its construction fleet. The Department of Environmental Conservation is floating proposed regulations requiring trucks made before 2007 to be fitted with emissions-reducing equipment and to use ultra-low-sulfur fuel by 2011.

The new regulations would apply only to state-owned trucks or trucks used for state contract work. The DEC estimates it will cost $195 million to retrofit about 30,000 state trucks.

It’s great that you have a choice to move. The Founding Fathers were so wise, among other things, they set up indiviual states, giving them the chance to experiment with various things, including levels of taxation.

Nothing like raising the price of doing business with the state. You s'pose that extra cost will show up in the bidding process somewhere? Like any other expense. I bet it will.
