Senate Committee grounds clean car bill into dirt

Posted at 1:06 PM on May 15, 2008 by Tom Scheck

The so-called Clean Car bill was heavily opposed by the Auto Dealers and others. The House companion bill is awaiting a floor vote. The old motto is "No bill is ever dead until the final gavel falls" but this bill could be on the ropes for the session.
