Dear California Air Resources Board,

Good afternoon. This letter is being sent today per the
recommendation of Ms. Monique Davis in your offices. She also said
I may submit letters electronically though July 13th, 2015 re: the
Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds workshop, which was held on June
22nd, 2015 in Sacramento.

I’m respectfully requesting that the deadline to comment publicly
is extended during this busy summer season and that workshops
additionally be held in each county in the Central Valley where
construction of the largest infrastructure project of its type in
the nation aka California High-Speed Rail (CAHSR) is proposed to
first begin.

California, along with Oregon and Washington are supposed to be the
“greenest” states in the nation. Meantime, the CAHSR which has not
yet proven themselves to be a “green” project stands to profit
significantly from the Cap & Trade proceeds. 
This in and of itself sets a bad precedent for all future projects
in this still Golden State.

Those impacted directly from such a project need to have their
voices heard. Workshops in the Central Valley along with those in
Southern and Northern California need to happen with comment
deadlines set for a month after such meetings.

The draft “Funding Guidelines” re: Cap & Trade was not released
until June 16th, 2015 and many were not able to view the workshop
to explain the guidelines that was online live last Monday, June
22nd, 2015. A link to listen should also be provided which I forgot
to mention while speaking with those in your offices earlier today.
I did leave a verbal request for a listening link last week via
phone, but have yet to hear back.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration of these
requests.

For the record, I come from a family with three generations of
sinus sufferers. 

Sincerely,


Shelli Andranigian
Fresno County
