| Comment | As a company, as a member of the community, we have a great concern
for the environment, in which we live, work and raise our families.
Our company is very interested in doing what we can do in the
effort to clean our air. We adamantly oppose the manner in which
this program proposes to facilitate this program. Placing the
burden of this legislation on the back of the consumers of
construction equipment is an unfair burden to companies. This
would be comparable to making the consumer responsible for the
safety features or emission requirements of an auto manufacturer.
This requirement should be placed on the manufacturer of
equipment. Natural life cycles and technological advancements will
remove older more polluting equipment and replace it with clean
equipment available by our equipment manufacturer.
