Greetings,

I have been a small business owner in Southern California for over
30 years. I operate a small fleet of 7 diesel-powered tow trucks,
the oldest being a 1986, the newest is a 2004 model. All are
professionally maintained and have passed opacity tests every
single year. Our company provides service to the general public,
various law enforcement entities such as CHP, and private fleets
like Penske Truck Leasing and United Parcel Service. Due to
increased emissions regulation, specifically the truck and bus
regulations, and the cost of retrofitting or replacement in the
current economic climate, I have no choice but to close down our
small family run business and release 6 longtime employees. I will
graciously send my former employees to the Employment Development
Department. I and my family will attempt to find work in Arizona,
where we will not be encumbered by Draconian regulations based on
bogus research submitted by a fraudulent "scientist".

Thank you very much for ruining our way of life. Have a wonderful
day.
