Thornburgh vetoes anti inspection bill in Pa
Gov. Dick Thornburgh vetoed legislation blocking the state emission inspection program in Delaware County and 13 other counties and banning photo licensing. The veto faces likely override amid strong Senate and House support. The measure warned of losing $400 million in federal funds tied to a consent decree with the EPA. The decree requires annual vehicle emissions checks beginning Nov. 1, 1980, with repairs optional until April 1, 1981. The photo license plan would roll out statewide next year. Details in sports: Mimi Coleman of Cardinal O’Hara named MVP as O’Hara beat Darby Colwyn 49-24 in the Rotary Club tournament.
