E-Checkmate

If only my car were a year newer, then I wouldn't have had to pay the $20 to get my car E-Checked.

The future of E-Check in Ohio is finally certain with Gov. Bob Taft signing the state budget bill, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday.

E-Check will remain in seven counties in Northeast Ohio through 2007, but motorists will not have to pay for the tests.

The tests, provided by Envirotest Systems, will be paid by the state starting Jan. 1. Ohio will use tobacco settlement funds.

Here comes my torn feelings o this issue. Come 2007, will our air really be cleaner or will we just accept that we are living in our own filth? Two more years of monitoring emmissions doesn't seem like it'll fix the problem; it'll just make it look like we care.
