@ Dennis; Pro-active: make an effort to spread the word by mouth or e-blogs that Dems in CT are bad for all types of business, which hires workers. Have facts ready. Present lists of well known government projects that waste money. Draw comparisons to your family budget and loans unpaid. Make your claims simple and civil. Reactive: Don't patronize news outlets that spread mis-information, as well as their sponsors.

The question is how do we stop these low info politicians from doing these idiotic laws. We certainly can't beat them in elections with 50% of voters on some government hand out and low info voters keep voting for those liberal tax and spend democrats. I wish I knew how we can stop them, they don't listen to anyone with an opposing view. Help!!!

I expect our current crew of 'Obamalloy' politicians in CT to introduce and pass this bill in 2013. Then, in the dark of the night, a revision will require cars with more than 50,000 miles to be inspected. Eventually, inspections will occur more universally and frequently, i.e. annually, for all cars with any mileage, for trivial things such as cup holders and floor mats. Then, they'll move onto bicycles, and lawn tractors...

You're right! Just another way to collect more money. Remember when diesels were exempt from emmissions? EXCEPT for State vehicles of course! They were/are diesels. They don't put crap in the air???????????? Guess only privetly owned vehicles do. Surprise... Surprise!

Frank- great idea- except what you propose would create a major power vacuum in Connecticut as legislator after legislator fails the sanity test and is placed in a padded debate chamber.

The propagandists have put the proverbial cart before the horse here... shouldn't they initiate this with a campaign of news stories about children injured in auto mishaps caused by old, substandard cars? Perhaps we could also start referring to auto accidents as incidents of car violence... that way we can usher the pathetic sheep into supporting the incremental criminalization of car ownership. We can start with powerful engine models that can be referred to as "assault cars". I'm confident that the political establishment is up to the task of exploiting children who have been injured by assault cars.
Oh, I know we can't be taking away such a rich source of revenue for the state by depriving the state of its revenue sources via registration fees, emission fees, tax monies from repair and maintenance costs- not to mention the ongoing windfall from our gas and gross receipts taxes. Why not sodomize the Connecticut car owner with another regular inspection fee while he's already bent over? Remember that it's important to somehow weave into the discussion the perpetual issue of protecting the children in order to quell anyone who would otherwise dare speak up against Big Brother's presumed concerned for those oh-so-vulnerable pawns in the game of political discourse.

How about this instead, All politicians, after 1,000 hours on the job, should be subject to "PERIODIC SANITY INSPECTIONS". Then we can all see what were getting for our tax dollars. Who is really working on our behalf, and who is just biding time till they collect their "benefits for life".

This is just another way for Malloy and his cohorts in the legislature to collect more tax money, indirectly, through increased motor vehicle repair work revenues. If they were really concerned about our safety, they'd hire more cops to patrol the larger, deadly cities, such as New Alien Haven and Bridgeport, and not issue drivers license to illegal aliens who can't read highway signs.
Car inspections should occur before a new car is sold, and as part of a sale or trade-in of a used car. Otherwise, the greatest risk that comes to my mind, bad brakes, could be addressed with more limited legislative action to require car repair shops to report faulty brakes that go un-repaired to the CT DMV.
The CT economy is in shambles, the CT U6 unemployment rate is higher than the national average, businesses and people are high tailing it out of state, but the CT Gov and legislators are more concerned with a Turtle Tunnel, a Bus-Way-to-Nowhere-Fast, Gun Control after Implementing an Early Release Program that includes Dangerous Criminals - one of whom murdered a Meriden convenience store clerk after being released, Smoking in cars, Legalizing 'Medicinal' Marijuana with no requirement that children be shielded from the smoke, and Car Inspections for Clunkers that Weren't Cashed-In for Federal Taxpayer Money. Face-palm.... both hands.
