Senator George Voinovich introduced a bill in Washington this week that would “distribute $1 billion in federal funds over five years to establish national grant & loan programs to retrofit older diesel engines,” an article in this morning’s Enquirer reports.
A study by the Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit environmental group headquartered in Boston, earlier this year, shows Ohio as being worse than 80% of the rest of the continental in United States diesel emissions and associated health risks, and the tri-state worse than 97% of other metropolitan areas.
Here in Ohio, Timothy Grendell, Kevin Coughlin, and Eric Fingerhut last April introduced a bill in the Senate which would revamp current motor vehicle inspections in the State, and implement new enhanced programs.
