[Roadsters] Oregon House Bill To Worry About

[Keith0alan at aol.com]

Ever try to find the original size tires for a roadster? Has anyone  measured 
the rolling resistance of one? Who's job is it to do so? Is Oregon  going to 
fund a tire measuring lab? 
 
Remember, half the people have below median intelligence. Why do so many of  
them end up in government?

Talk  about a nanny state.

Oregon has a bill going through the state house  right now that will kill all
the fun for gearheads.  H.B. 2186 forbids  replacing the tires on your car
with any tire that would increase the  rolling resistance.  What that means
it that wider tires, possibly  even snow tires would be prohibited.  This
bill was recommended by our  wonderful governor, who is number 50 in rating
of all 50 governors in the  US.  He thinks this will keep the temp of the
earth from rising when  for the last three years it has been falling.

Not only does this bill  forbid using tires that are essentially OEM tires
only, many aftermarket  parts are also forbidden, including things like
wheels and trailer  hitches.

How many jobs would be lost because of this ridiculous  legislation?  How
many small business owners will have to declare  bankruptcy in a time when
business is already down?  Why does Oregon  hate business so much?

Isn't it wonderful to live in a state where the  unemployment is close to the
highest in the land and know that your  governor and legislature don't give a
#(*& about that minor  detail?  With the state economy going into the dump
you would think  they would consider important things that add jobs, not
destroy them, and  maybe even consider ways to get out of our lives, but no.
But then, that  would be an absolutely ridiculous thing for a good, caring,
responsible  politician to  do.

Sorry  for the rant, but I wanted people to see what a nanny state does when
it  only cares about big government and stays up late at night to find  small
ways to get into the lives of the people.
