If these fascists try to cite me for this someday, you can bet your bottom dollar I will perform a little civil disobedience.
As gas nears $4, Minneapolis eyes limits on engine idling
Minneapolis City Council members today will hear from city staff members about a proposed ordinance to restrict vehicle idling in most cases to 3 minutes.
The proposal will be discussed at 10 this morning in the council chambers.
Currently, limits are in place for city police and public works vehicles and commercial buses and trucks that burn diesel fuel.
“The new ordinance is designed to improve air quality,” said a news release from the city. “If approved, the measure would make it illegal in most cases to allow a car to idle (except while in traffic) for more than 3 minutes.”
Do they realize that Minneapolis happens to be in Minnesota where it gets very VERY cold in the winter?
This is a perfect example of liberal politicians politicizing agony of the public.

People still let their cars idle sitting there in the winter? It seems like a very expensive bad habit.
