Comment:
I would like to express my concern regarding the current
Environmental Justice Advisory Committee - Community Meetings.  As
I understand these community meetings are meant to inform all
community stakeholders on the scoping plan for the reduction of
green house gas emissions.  These meetings are also intented for
committee members to receive input from stakeholders, unfortunately
this is not the case. 

As a community stakeholder I would like my comments to be put on
record as this important piece of legislation moves forward.   This
legislation provides no assurances that an extension of
California’s current energy programs will be effective, affordable
or have protections in place for consumers and businesses.  In
addition, this bill will grant the California Air Resources Board
(ARB) more authority to mandate new programs, when the current
programs have not been resolved, nor a comprehensive accounting of
the costs and effectiveness of the programs has been provided.   

As the Environmental Justice Advisory Committee (EJAC) meetings
continue throughout the next few weeks, we need to guarantee that
both the industries and the local residents are providing their
feedback in order for California to have a comprehensive policy
that protects affordability and reliability, and works in symmetry
with existing climate programs, while providing appropriate
legislative engagement and oversight. 

I urge you to keep all community stakeholders  in mind as this
process moves forward.  
Thank you for your consideration of my views and concerns.

Sincerely,

Samuel Vidrio
