| Comment | I believe ARB should consider an amendment to the Carl Moyer
Guidelines that will keep the Moyer used for emissions reductions
within California. Under the current guidelines, the funding can
go out of State, or even out of Country, as long as the emissions
reductions finally end up in the air district providing the
funding. Understanding the revenues come from Californians, and
given the current economic state of California, it only makes sense
the economic benefits should be retained in the California
communities where the emissions benefits are provided.
I am providing an attachment showing a recent presentation to the
Nevada legislature regarding keeping their state funding used for
bid projects within their state. Page 8 of the document lists
several other states that have adopted similar bidder preference
programs, including California.
I appreciate your consideration of this concern.
