Mary Lazich Wants The Government Out Of Our Garages

It must be baffling to a Republican like State Sen. Mary Lazich, (R-New Berlin), to have the US Environmental Protection Agency under a Republican president issuing clean air regulations.

Lazich doesn't like the EPA rules that tighten emissions from small engines, like those on lawn mowers - - not knowing that some small engines expel half their fuel as unburned vapor, a severe air pollutant that contributes to the greenhouse effect.

Of course, local AM conservative talk show host Mark Belling recently said gasoline engine emissions were a good thing because they would help ward off global cooling.

Lazich's staff aide Kevin Fischer is a frequent fill-in host on Belling's show, completing that little hot air loop.
