Art,
PA went through a long litigation with the EPA over emissions. The EPA was demanding that many PA counties adopt more stringent controls because of pollution levels. A CMU strudy showed that 80 percent of the PA pollution was from adjacent states. You need only drive by the refineries around Phila and NJ to see what the source is.
Many PA counties are being forced to do emissions inspections again - even though very few cars ever fail. They have exempted specially constructed vehicles and street rods.
I'm tired of having fingers pointed at the wrong people. They should be after the refineries and coal fired electric plants, not you and me. They only do it because we are easy targets.
