The U.S. government passed new emissions standards that required new diesel-powered cars and trucks to use the filters. New York state government helped Corning build the new plant. Then, the state passed its own emissions law that forces owners of old diesel vehicles used on state contracts to install the filters -- an upgrade that could cost as much as $30,000 each... Almost 3,000 Department of Transportation vehicles fell under the new law. The agency will have to finish retrofitting 883 vehicles before the end of the year. It could cost anywhere from $1.5 million to $26 million, a spokeswoman said.
Thanks Behind Liberal Lines.

Since my job recently evaporated, I will be out of Albuquerque in 30 days, out of NM in 90 days and out of the U.S. unless there is a radical change with the November elections shortly thereafter.
Those of you who elect to stay hooked, enjoy your gulag.

These people don't think, they only find ways to control.
Until people on the side of liberty realize it and start to fight it for what it is, we are probably doomed.
Can't reason with statists, they have to be defeated and 60 years' worth of bureaucrats removed.

Five blocks trapped behind a Mexican bus have convinced me that a city government has a compelling interest in controlling vehicle exhaust and pollution.
How that is done, however, is another story.
