Wants energy-efficient vehicles for local govs in future
QUINCY, IL -- An Illinois State Representative wants to push local governments into buying more energy-efficient vehicles.
Mike Boland from the Quad Cities said he'll introduce legislation requiring local governments to buy flex-fuel vehicles, biodiesel, or hybrid vehicles the next time they buy.
"This is just replacement. You don't have to dump what you're doing right now and go out and get a new vehicle. This is only when you're ready to replace a car or truck," Boland said.
He said alternative fuels and vehicles will create a cleaner environment.
