Agree.........

An excerpt from a letter sent Dec 13 to Matthew Fritz, DEP Chief of Staff:

Assuming another 25 registered in the remaining months of 2005 and all of 2006, there would be approx 214 Composites of all types in CT, which does not include motorcycles. With the drving season being about 7 or 8 months and limited annual mileage of each Composite in the low thousands ( 1,000 to 2,500 ) , the total annual mileage for Composites is insignificant to all the miles driven by CT residents. Based upon the registrations of Composites, what would prompt the DEP to continue to enforce Composite emissions and periodically lower the standards ? Agreed that everything helps, but the impact that Composites have on CT emissions more than likely cannot be measured, now or in the future.

Thanks in advance for your consideration and I look forward to your reply

The other topic covered was the delay in publishing the 2007 Emission standards, after numerous inquries
