Obama EPA now targeting school buses
A company that provides bus service to government schools must pay a $90,000 federal fine and do environmental projects worth $348,000 to settle charges by the Obama EPA it violated environmental standards.
What eco-crime did Durham School Services commit? Dumping diesel into rivers? Running over bald eagles for fun?
No, a government investigation found it left buses idling too long in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Never mind the fact no one has ever died from bus-engine-is-running.
In addition to the nearly half-million dollars in fines, it must now instruct all of its drivers how to not leave a bus running and it must post anti-idling signs on all its buses.
