Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the recent EJAC
community workshops. As a small business owner, our company
employees rely on their jobs to support their families.  We have
found it increasingly difficult to keep up with the rising costs of
fuel and energy, much of which are related to existing
environmental and climate change laws that are much stricter than
those in other states.  

My family and my employees live and work in this community, so I
have a vested interest in a clean and safe environment. I support
reasonable regulations to improve our air quality, but strongly
believe these regulations must be cost-effective and provide
measurable environmental improvements that demonstrably justify the
cost.

Small businesses and low-to-moderate income communities already
spend a higher than average percentage of their budgets on
utilities and energy.   Before EJAC advocates for costlier
regulations that could put a huge burden on our employees and
potentially out of work, please consider the costs, and promote
only those that are affordable and will deliver truly meaningful
air quality benefits for our communities.

Thank you.
