Looks like about 10.8 Million to me. With the market the way it is, do we really need these projects?
Lets say we have about 500,000 people in ada county. That would be 2 million each. Gee pay off your house, buy a new car, retire. What else could one do?

mr. dipity, i have had all of my vehicles tested as the notices have appeared in my mail box. rest assured canyon county is actively engaged in finding the nearly non-existent vehicles out of compliance by testing 100% of all the vehicles.

i called DEQ to get failure numbers but none were offered beyond some imainary number not supported by any data. it is largely a follow the money scam whereby the DEQ gets money each time a testing form is filled out.

just have your car up to operating temperature and make sure the check engine light is out and you will pass the test. they don’t even put a sniffer in the tailpipe. what a joke on the motoring public.

I’m in favor of raising gas taxes as a help to improve air quality by declining unnecessary use of motor vehicles in the county.

Meanwhile, can anyone say what’s up with the Canyon County emissions testing regulation? is it on or off? If off, how come
they’re getting away with it?
