Dear Govenor Schwarzenegger or Members of the California State
Legislature or CARB,  My name is Matt Panella my brother and I Will
Panella own and operate B. Panella Drayage Co. established in 1912.
We are the fourth generation in our family to carry on in the
trucking business and we have enjoyed many years of success, but
every year that goes by with more  rules and regulations being
forced upon business especially trucking, we are seeing less and
less profit, and especially in a slow and struggling economy being
forced to purchase new trucks would have a devastating effect on
our business. We are not so fortunate to be able to pass on all of
our expenses to our customers. We totally believe in cleaning up
our air quality and keeping California a beautiful State, but I
wonder at what expense that should be done. We want to comply with
the new rules that are going to take place but we are wondering how
we will be able to pay for these proposals.  Please keep in mind
that there are many small companies like ours that may not be able
to survive these changes, and I believe that would be devastating
to our economy and all of our lifestyles. Thank You,  Matt Panella.
