re: #570 Leonidas Hoplite

Yes I hear you. I will leave my car running in the train station parking lot to increase green house gasses and warm things up a bit…

Not in Ct, if some people get their way.

Lawmakers are considering a bill that would ban trucks and cars from idling for more than three minutes.

The bill is part of a new plan to help reduce air pollution in Connecticut.

Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Dan Kain reported that the bill has passed a number of committees by wide margins.

“There are people who will go to run into a store, and after 5 or 10 minutes or more, the car is still out there idling,” said Rep. Richard Roy, D-Milford. “We’re trying to get that to stop.”
