Philly environmentalists scored a slight victory when legilsators broke for the election break w/o voting on a bill that would declaw the Clean Vehicles Program.

From Rueters:

The Clean Vehicles Program, originally adopted in 1998 when Republican Tom Ridge was governor, sets tougher emissions standards for new passenger cars and light-duty trucks. Currently, Pennsylvania follows federal emission standards.

From PennEnvironment:

“Pennsylvania can’t afford to take steps backward in the fight against air pollution, but that’s exactly what this bill would unfortunately do,” said Willcox. “PennEnvironment urges the House of Representatives to support the Clean Vehicles Program by rejecting SB 1025.”
