BALTIMORE, MD – Joining a coalition of 12 attorneys general, Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today filed his strong opposition to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal to repeal regulations that place strict emissions standards on highly polluting “glider” trucks. Known as the 2016 Glider Rule, the regulations mandate that most engines installed in “gliders” – new heavy-duty truck bodies outfitted with refurbished or rebuilt pre-2010 highly polluting engines – meet the same emissions standards applicable to all newly manufactured engines.
“Yet again, EPA Administrator Pruitt is showing his true colors – ignoring his legal obligation, and failing to protect the American people from environmental harm,” said Attorney General Frosh. “The Glider Rule was put into place to enforce vehicle emission standards, and helps create a more fair and balanced approach to enforcing those standards on the truck industry.”

13 out of 50. The very vocal minority whines again!
Nothing will please this politically hungry idiot. Would someone please show hm the door?
Frosh is a flea in a dog fight and a waste of the tax payers $. He likes to see his name in the md liberal rags but is irrelevant and insignificant
Just another POSER in the Soros Cloward-Piven chess game.
The Party of Liberal Jim!
The pre- 2010 engines are mechanically unable to operate under present guidelines. It is just plain a scientific and physical fact. The newer engines have different mechanical parts that only fit the new engines. You can't fit a 2 inch bearing into a 1 inch hole. It would be like legislating cellular capabilities into an old 1930's desk phone.
This guy is whacked out thinking everything can be "changed" just by legislation. He needs to get out now.
I like the smell of diesel
I like it too, 9:31
Let them starve. When the trucks stop moving so does everything these unappreciative people take for granted in their daily lives.
