As a small business owner and employer responsible for the
livelyhood 50 plus families in California the newly proposed
regulations will have an enormously negative impact on us. We work
on a small single digit profit margin as it is, putting any more
financial burden on companies our size will simply put a number of
us out of business. We all want a cleaner California, however we
need to more time to allow for the implementation of cleaner
burning vehicles. The standards which you are requesting are just
not reasonable when it comes to emissions or particulate matter.

The mandates that are being proposed are simply too fiscally
aggressive for our industry to be able to handle without extreme
hardship, not only on us, but the state as a whole will feel the
effects because transportation is such a large part of our
infrastructure.

Simply stated, CARB is out of touch with what is reality.
