Subject | Opposed to Scrappage Program |
Comment | I am opposed to this vehicle scrappage program. The automotive aftermarket, including automotive repair shops and the companies that manufacture and sell auto parts, bring a significant amount of revenue to the state. Repairing an older vehicle is the best form of "green" becuase you are re-using your possesions, instead of discarding and replacing them. It takes fewer resources to keep an older vehicle in good condition and on the road, than it takes to build and transport a new vehicle. Older cars that are kept in good condition are not the problem. This allows cars that pass smog checks to be eligible. The intent of these programs should be to get cars that don't work off the road, not to pay for cars in good condition. These programs do not take the collector and classic cars into consideration. Preserving the automotive heritage of our country is important. Also, in the current financial position our state is in, I do not think we should be using tax dollars in this way. Use the tax dollars to educate our children, keep the state parks open, and keep the citizens safe. |
