Dear Chairman Nichols,

I am writing to thank you for your leadership as the California
Air Resources Board (CARB) moves forward in the fight against
global warming and to support the Administrative Fee regulation
coming up for a vote on June 25, 2009.

A stable funding source is needed in order to continue the
important work of CARB and other state agencies to implement
California's global warming strategies. The proposed AB 32
administrative fee provides that funding in an equitable manner
by imposing a fee on major sources of greenhouse gases in
California, rather than continuing to rely on state funds. 

In light of the state's already dire budget situation, adopting
the fee regulation is a responsible action to provide the
resources necessary to administer key strategies and regulations
to curb greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors of the
economy.

I strongly support adoption of the fee to ensure that CARB
maintains momentum toward meeting the state's greenhouse gas
reduction goals. Thank you again for your leadership and I again
urge you to adopt the AB 32 administrative fee.
