Subject | Keep Diesel Ruling intact |
Comment | I am aware that there is now discussion about rescinding or delaying the diesel truck ruling because one person in the line of analysts did not graduate from UC Davis as stated. I do not think that this was the only person in the line af analysis nor does graduating from another accedited unsiversity other than UC Davis negate his knowlege of the subject matter at hand. This ruling is too significant in the run to clean our air to pull it simply because of a question of one persons credentials. Too much is at stake, our air is too dirty, our citizens are too at risk to abandon this long, hard fought battle. If those who question the statisticians credentials want to have someone of proven status reheck the findings of the first set of analysists, bring thier well founded deficiencies to the table for debate that would be something of merit. But to simply change your mind because of what school he graduated from is inherently prejudicial or unadmittedly political. The person who is raising the question the most has big family ties to farming and I'm sure has recieved much criticism on his original vote by the ag industry and old family friends. Prove there was a real problem with the data first. Then vote to revist the ruling. Not the other way around. |
