VET Testing

Senator,
  I appreciate your response but it is totally inadequate and unacceptable to VETO the VET.  I have had a few legal courses in college, but when a contract is unconstitutional, it is VOID.  A void contract cannot be enforced on either party.
Besides, the Envirotest folks seem to come up with some very high "profit" figures which should be investigated very publicly.  They used grant money (taxpayers) to buy/build the facilities they use as well. 

  We believe the test should end. PERIOD.  We know a political deal was made in 2002 session to allow Jefferson out & we would get our turn the following year (2003 session). But it appears our N. KY leaders forgot us once again.  Had we had a bill passed we would already be getting out?

  Testing serves no purpose in cleaning up the air. A 2% or 3% failure rate cannot cause our "ozone " problem.  The car consumer has paid sufficiently and are performing very well (98% passing rate). Emission trading does not clean up the air.
In fact, the individual citizen has lost property rights to the stationary polluters who gets to buy/sell emission credits.

  We will see you at the fairs, in your neighborhoods & at the election booths.  We think the American consumer is smart enough to see through Washington and politicians selling hot air!
