Butler County opposes return of E-Check
Monday, March 09, 2009
HAMILTON — Butler County commissioners fumed this morning, March 9, about the possibility that the Ohio E-Check could return to Butler County and the rest of Greater Cincinnati.
Commissioners passed a resolution 2-0 — Commissioner Gregory Jolivette was absent — in opposition to the unpopular vehicle emissions test.
A cloud of concern has arisen that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency could mandate emissions testing as it revises its classification of areas that meet or exceed ozone standard because of a federal lawsuit.
"I definitely want to go on record as being opposed to another E-Check situation in Butler County," said Commissioner Charles Furmon. "It did not work and it did not do what it was supposed to and there's got to be another means."
Commission President Donald Dixon agreed.
"It didn't work the last time, there's no sense in wasting more money and doing it a second time," Dixon said.
