I am Richard Stevenson and I own a small trucking company in
Granite Bay California. I am very troubled by the direction the
state environmental and regulatory agencies are taking us.

 

All regulatory agencies in this state owe the public, transparency
and honesty in order for there to be trust. These agencies have
forsaken the public trust.

 

The State of California and the California Environmental
Protection Agency has chosen to regulate thousands of businesses
out of business and doesn’t seem to care about the facts or truth.
California has the worst business environment in the United States
of America. Unemployment is at an all time high. These appointed
board’s politically motivated actions must stop now.

 

Our politicians allow these regulatory boards to continue their
politically driven misinformation campaign to damage the hard
working citizens is beyond belief.

 

Scientific Review Panel appointees have overstayed their tenure
(Brown v. Adams). A lead scientist was suspended, after being found
out that his PhD was purchased online from a diploma mill (Hien
Tran, CARB lead scientist). Economic impacts of burdensome
regulations are not properly taken into consideration.(Legislature
commissioned Study by Varshney/Tootlian CSU Sacramento).

  

We should trust these government agencies? These boards need to be
disbanded. The state can use their almost 1 billion dollar budgets
to improve the business environment in California instead of
driving more jobs out of state. I am sure that many voters in
California would support that action.

 

The economy in this state is going to take several more years to
improve. I earn only enough to service my debt and by the end of
2010 it will be illegal for me to continue to operate my equipment
and earn a living.  

 

How can a state agency force me to spend tens of thousands of
dollars because of their mandates? What is the obsession with
crushing business? Competition is not my problem. The government is
what I fear. They are going bankrupt me. Things just don’t make
sense anymore.

 

You are killing us and I don’t need you looking out for me.
