Comment | Comment received during 2nd 15-Day Comment Period. Comment submitted by Clerk on behalf of Commenter. "I am requesting the CARB delay the vote until updated cost projections are provided to the public. Actually, I think this particular rule making should be presented to the citizens as a Proposition ballot measure; as any tax, bond issue, etc. would be. I am a liberal Californian, and voting straight Democrat in this coming election purely to preserve the U.S. Constitution. It isn't always that way. Our gas prices are already obscene, compared to a lot of other states. Further increases in that differential could result in unintended political and social consequences. The public hasn't been made aware of the changes that will further increase our costs, much like a tax. I think more time should be given for science to develop some alternatives, as further modifications are probably producing smaller improvements at increasingly greater costs. The supermajority in the legislature is walking a fine line, along with many of our state boards and committees. I believe we are reaching the limits of traditional liberalism, as governmental revenue vs. spending or personal income vs. expenses are reaching a point of financial destabilization." |
