Unhappy Emissions testing is "federally mandated"

In areas that fail certain "clean air" testing parameters...cities are added as they "fail" these tests, which are done regularly.

If the state were to stop enforcing the emissions tests, they would lose federal transportation dollars..it's called "blackmail" or coercion, by the feds.

The WSP no longer does inspections ..you just test for emissions if you are in the areas mentioned, and pay..no testing where I am..Olympia area. The dmv/dept of lisc. is privatized in WA , and a pleasure to work with, in my experience.
