THE LATEST EPISODE FROM OUR SERIES "RURAL WYOMING MATTERS!"
JOEY SITS DOWN WITH HOLLY LAKE AND THEY DISCUSS:
Why Is Holly's husband Troy in federal prison and what are we going to do about it?
Troy Lake, born in Newcastle and raised in Rawlins, who lived for years in Dubois, is the owner of Elite Diesel, and was convicted of conspiring to violate the federal Clean Air Act for disabling EPA-mandated emissions systems on diesel trucks.
These systems are notorious for causing engine failures, slashing fuel efficiency, and burdening truckers as well as small businesses with costly repairs. Troy’s modifications weren’t about breaking the law, they were about keeping essential services and livelihoods operational while actually reducing emissions, not converting the emissions into something that isn’t tested for (such as urea instead of nitrogen oxide) successfully increasing the fuel efficiency, operational capability and dependability of the vehicles he worked on to include many municipally and government owned vehicles.
His work directly supported:
- Fire Trucks: Troy tuned fire truck engines to ensure they could respond to emergencies, saving lives and property.
- School Buses: He kept school buses operational, preventing kids from being stranded in Wyoming’s brutal winter snowstorms.
- Road Graders: His expertise ensured government road graders could maintain safe, accessible roads for communities.
- Farm, Ranch, and Long-Haul Truckers: Troy’s modifications kept agricultural and long-haul trucks running, supporting farmers, ranchers, and truckers who feed and supply America.
Despite these contributions, Troy was sentenced to 12 months and one day in federal prison, fined $52,500, and branded a felon for life. He’s currently held at FCI Florence, a federal prison facility, for a non-violent regulatory offense, a punishment that far outweighs his actions.
