Comment
Dear Gov.,
  MY wife and I haver been a Commercial Truck Dealer for over 21
years in California. This propasal as currently written will
destroy not just the truckes but all the affilliated companies as
well as drive the price of goods and services through the roof.
California has benefited from lower costs for transportation for
years. While y wife and I are also concerned about being green we
also have to look at what cost. We have had the smoke law for 11
years and it was not enforced until the last 3 years. When it was
enforced it was only on a selective basis. The State just allowed
low sulfer Diesel this last year and this had made a substantila
difference. I would propose that the allotted time for fleet
improvement be increased to lessen the fiscal impact to the
consumer. The rules are only going to speed the business flight
from the State. The Kansas City Port of Entry openned 3 years ago
and this alone will change the econmics of our State---they are in
the process of by-passing us now and it will just accelerate.
Please stretch the rules out.
