This bill was extended for reconsideration in the latter part of April. Has anyone been following this or heard if its been voted on again? Would likely change the value of '76 cars here in CA...in a good way.

If it sounds too good to be true...

Lets hope this passes, it would be great for us Californians, smogging the old cars is a major PITA!

Do you have a link to this legislation? I can't find anything under S.B. 1744 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Do you have the SB number wrong? The search I did shows it is SB 1224. According to this post - http://echo.bluehornet.com/hostedemail/ema...mp;ei=NE-IVTNYN

This should have already been decided, anybody?

California passed this legislation before, and a couple years later changed it back. A lot cars were scraped when the laws were reinstated because people thought it was safe to modify their cars.

I've lived here for 11 yr's so that was before I got here. Can you give me some leads, links, write ups, etc. re: that, so I can educate myself? If it happens again, I'll be loading Boxer's mailbox on regular basis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) If we don't study our history we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

It would be nice but I don't think big business will let it happen. In the past, companies would buy up and scrap old cars to get the pollution credits. The credit would = 80% of the emissions the car would produce and would last 3 years. I don't know if that program still exists but it would explain a lot.

[rant]

Good luck with getting Bar-bore-a Boxer-shorts, or Dianne Frankenstein to even read your messages. Their staffs filter through everything and round-file anything that doesn't go along with their 'progressive' agendas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Over the years, I've penned sincere, concerned letters to both of them on quite a few issues, with nary a receipt notification from either one. Those same letters were read and responded to by 'the other white meat', no problem.

I thought that 'elected officials' were supposed to represent all constituents, not just their lap dogs and campaign supporters.

No, I really didn't expect either BB or DF to respond, let alone with any intelligent debate.

Dave, I don't know if I'm doing this right, but thank you for the correction.

This governmental action will not only affect us, but enthusiasts from many marques.

It seems that they (those on the dark side), are looking at ways to increase the 'tax income stream' to the government, with impunity, one could add,...On the other hand, wouldn't it be better to reduce the fees on these 'hobbies' and look at the increased sales tax revenue that would be realized, because, we who are addicted, spend A LOT of cash chasing the things that we enjoy!

BB, DF...lighten up!

How about studying up on how our government works. Boxer and Fienstein are US Senators. They don't vote on stuff on the state level. Find out who your state senators and reps. are and write them an email, snail mail, etc. I got a letter from my state rep. saying the bill was still being discussed in the transportation committee and not up for vote yet. That was some time ago and I haven't heard much about it since. I don't think it has a chance. Anyone who votes for it will be immediately pounced upon by his or her opponent as being AGAINST clean air. Our cowardly state reps. don't vote for or against to improve life in California, all they're interested in is getting re-elected. Whoa! This almost sounds like a political post.

You're absolutely correct, but my one-way correspondence with those two wasn't concerning state senate bills. My rant was more about political polarization and what seems to be non-representation (and yes, I know it runs rampant in both parties) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I will say that B&F have both responded (via an aid I'm sure) to several of my msg's. Perhaps if you "struck" the word "bitch" from future rants they might respond. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
I wonder how much a good Lobbyist cost nowadays?

I'd be willing to chip in to the cause, "to grease the wheels with a donation". Since the world only is concerned with money, how much of a bribe would it take?

This has veered well into the territory of politics, a topic which is explicitly not welcome on this board. If you wish to discuss it, please take the discussion elsewhere.

The original "killer" of the 30 year exemption was Assemblyman Joe Flores.

if i remember correctly, it was to be a rolling 30 year exemption. in year 2000, all 1970 cars would be exempt. in 2001, the 1971 cars would be exempt. and so on.
