New York Eliminating Safety Inspections on Vehicles?

There are two things that most of us New Yorkers are well aware we have to do at least once every year and if we don't do them there could be serious consequences. We have to pay and file our taxes, and we need to have the vehicles we own and drive inspected. Not that you need an explanation but if you don't pay your taxes, the state will eventually find out and you'll spend years trying to clear things up.

The unusual legal effort begins weeks after the state Board of Elections chose late last month to use the measure’s technical language verbatim rather than interpret it in its explanation to voters.
