Okay but there's no federal DMV or highway patrol. If the DOJ can decide not to pursue corruption charges against the executive branch and the Republican congress, why should the CA DMV work against the states own environmental interests? Keep issuing the stickers.
Unfortunately that's not how it works.
Interstate highways, i.e. the ones with the blue, red, white shield-shaped markers, are federally funded, and what they can be used for is defined at the federal legislation level.
Violate those rules, funding gets withdrawn for noncompliance, etc.
Where does most of that that finding come from?
Historical threatening of withdrawal of Federal Highway funds to enforce driving related laws
Excuse my typo -- I meant to write "funding." My point is that Democrats and neolibs always bring a toy knife to the Republican's gunfight. Progressives need to own their power and stop funding a federal government (and welfare red states) that is sacrificing everything we value to make billionaires richer.
