Great tailpipe sniffing contest sparks Maryland VEIP debate
Maryland faces a costly fight over a Clean Air Act compliant Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program. Del Beck calls it the great tailpipe sniffing contest as legislators weigh a five year cost between $108 million and $168 million plus potential federal penalties. The dispute centers on contract terms with Systems Control Inc. and whether delays and potential price increases are warranted while EPA and congressional actions loom.
