The Hubbard County Board opposes an effort to require car manufacturers to sell low- and zero-emission vehicles in Minnesota.
Following discussion at two of their February meetings, they passed a resolution rejecting the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) proposed “Clean Cars Minnesota Rule.”
The MPCA is considering adopting state rules that would limit the amount of greenhouse gases new cars, SUVs and pickup trucks can emit and require manufacturers to deliver more battery-powered and hybrid models in the state.
Older models or used vehicles wouldn t be subject to the new standard. Fourteen other states, including California, have adopted similar requirements.
ATV damage to ditches stirs up complaints with Hubbard County Board

The Hubbard County Highway Department is seeking a solution to the problem of ATVs damaging road approaches.
At Tuesday’s Hubbard County Board meeting, county commissioner Dan Stacey said he has received complaints about right-of-ways in his district, particularly County Roads 42, 25 and 4. “I believe this issue is probably going to fester and maybe boil over some time this year,” he said.
County commissioner David De La Hunt agreed, saying there’s damage to county approaches on County Road 9 and other heavily used places and it’s not getting fixed. “We’re looking for a longer-term solution here to the problem here.”
