More on E-check

The Equirer and the Post both have anti-E-check editorials today.

The Enquirer's offers this warning:

Some E-Check haters may now be leery: Be careful what you ask for. Costs of alternatives are likely to be passed through to consumers in other ways. Ohio EPA says cleaner-burning fuels would cost motorists about 3 cents a gallon more - around $30 a year for the average driver.

--Cincinnati Enquirer

Fine. At least that way my money will go towards cleaning the air. As it currently is, 97% of tests are simply $19.50 charges that result in no difference in air quality.

The cars that actually do the polluting should bear the cost.

See http://porkopolis.blogspot.com/2005/01/ohio-e-check.html for a new strategy.
