They are wanting us to have our cars checked every year by the EPA, however, they won't stop field burning?

KVAL--

Residents of Lane County suffer through it every year -- field burning.

" "This is a threat to public health," State Representative Paul Holvey tells us. "And the legislature should have stepped in and done something about it, based on the science and the information we have about the health impacts." "

House Bill 3000, which would have banned the practice in the Willamette Valley pass through the health committee, only to "go up in smoke" in the agricultural committee.
The first burn this season on Tuesday, sent thick smoke from Harrisburg field down to West Eugene.

" "That's why field burning doesn't work in the Willamette Valley," explains Lane County Commissioner Bill Dwyer, "because nobody can control the elements that are associated. Whether it's a guess, or a gamble at best, we shouldn't gamble with the health of our citizens." "

sure, that makes sense, air quality is so bad in the area that residents in Eugene/Springfield area may soon have their cars inspected every year. We are being forced to change our gasoline by adding ethanol to reduce greenhouse emissions, and yet, especially in the Willamette Valley otherwise known as “hay fever valley” in a state where you cannot even get medications anymore for hay fever, it is okay to gas us out with field burning.
