The California Air Resources Board (ARB) is scheduled to vote on a
landmark rule to strengthen state air standards and reduce air
pollution from construction equipment,
known technically as "In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicles."

California needs cleaner air. I support this proposed rule because
it will:

-- Prevent 4,000 premature deaths;

-- Result in health benefits and reduced health care and
hospital visits of $18 to $26 billion;

-- Help bring the most polluted areas of the state, the Los
Angeles/Long Beach air basin and the San Joaquin Valley, into
attainment with federal air quality standards; and

-- By 2020, prevent 48 tons per day of NOx and 5 tons per day of
particulate air pollution from entering our air.

Seems like an obvious minimal choice, doesn't it.
