SubjectHow fast can we afford to go?
Comment
Everyone is for clean air, including industry.  We have made great
strides since the 1970's to reduce air pollution and every resident
of California is the benefactor.  But we can not afford to do it
all tomorrow, next week or next year.  Protecting the environment
is something only practiced in a significant way by societies rich
enough to afford to do so.  We, thankfully, are the leaders of the
world in this regard.  But if we choke our economy into stagnation
we will no longer be able to afford to implement any programs other
than extending unemployment benefits.

Please listen to our business leaders and slow down the
implementation of these Draconian measures during a time of true
economic crisis.  The environment will be better served in the long
term if we keep our economy healthy so we can continue to afford
the pollution control measures the rest of the world can not.

Thank you.
