Sometimes you just have to say, "What the Fcuk!"

Typical of the people running things here. Thing is, they aren't running anything except into the ground. Seriously, the kind of people we have in any form of government are low grade morons. I bet if you asked any of them who the 3rd president of the US was they would not know.
Every single person on the public trough is mentally constipated or they wouldn't be there. It's embarrassing. |
"Typical of the people running things here."
No sir 100% the responsibility of the California voters. If the folks want something different in California, they'd educate themselves and vote accordingly. |

I’m not saying people here vote wisely, but there’s no way this issue was on the agenda when they did. I’d be curious what the reasoning was in turning down this bill, though.
|
not just shot down...They discussed it in private, no public debate, nothing.. they didn't even explain why they shot it down, the one person questioned "could not remember" - tells you how much they care about voters!
Someone mentioned a cost of 1.2Mil, I am sure Cali spends that on 20x complete BS measures elsewhere. Sigh... |
I don’t think cal has honest elections as the car culture is very much alive in that state.

Facts:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB712 You can review part of the sausage making process there. And you can read the Bill!!! 1975 and older cars are still exempt, like my 911. NO SMOG for my 911, as it has been for many years. |
The sausage factory chiefs examine the $$ impact of a new recipe before moving forward.
Part of the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB0TFTVTb7U You can see at least part of what Leno had to say in that video. I should note that I have a 1999 BMW that requires rolling smog, and I have no issues accessing a station that can perform that test. I think I pay the same amount for that test as I pay for another vehicle (a 2002 model) that requires just a plug in test. Again, my 1975 911 REMAINS smog exempt. |
"(CA)AB 42 exempted vehicles manufactured before 1978 from smog check testing. Also required that vehicles 20 years old or older be exempt from the Smog Check program starting in 2004. AB 42 established a brief rolling chassis exemption until it was repealed in 2006 where 1976 and newer vehicles were subjected to emission testing."

@Mahler9th, that's how it went down. There are some real idiots in the legislature that wouldn't know a sports car from a sports coat, or a performance classic from a Cuisinart. Those that aren't in the real idiot group are just following gaining support from others for their own little pork project.
There's not one stand up person in Sacramento. They are all sellouts. |
The truth of it is that in the list of challenges that CA. has, some smog exemption bill isn't even on the radar. It simply doesn't matter to anyone but a small subset of the population, which we happen to be a part of. Don't overestimate your own importance...it just doesn't matter.
