OK, here’s a little more government nonsense for ya. It seems only 25 of 67 counties in Pennsylvania have to have emissions testing on their vehicles. This is a problem. Either make the same requirement for every county or eliminate it for the others.

In addition, now PennDOT is changing its minimum waiver expenditure for vehicles that don’t pass. Instead of being able to spend $150 (its current minimum) trying to rectify the problem and get the sticker, as of Sept. 1, they’ll want you to spend $450 when the expenditure is increased.

This is an outrage and it’s complete nonsense. It’s not like this administration doesn’t already have its hands deep enough in your pockets, but now Pennsylvania is taking pages right out of its own playbook by picking your pockets even more. These politicians talk like they’re helping everyone so much and doing so much good for you when it seems they just want to line their pockets and watch everyday citizens go broke. Just a little more nonsense!
