As a California Citizen and Taxpayer I OPPOSE this proposal.
The cost to taxpayers as well as the cost to the poor in higher
fuel costs is too high. Ask yourselves these questions:

1. With most of the world including most of the US not following
these excessive cuts how is this going to make a "real" change in
the environment? Most of our smog comes in on the wind from China.
May I suggest you go there and try your ideas.

2. Since there is now science backing up that carbon is a problem
for our atmosphere why are you attacking it?


CARB is trying to achieve a lofty and ambitious goal, but needs to
also exercise caution in how this policy is implemented to avoid
harming our economy or further burdening struggling families.
California gas prices are already among the nation's highest
according to GasBuddy data. Consumers can't afford to pay more for
gas or to simply trade in our cars for electric cars.
A recently released study found one third of Californians live in
poverty. CARB's proposal will have (un)intended consequences of its
implementation such as gas price increases and lost jobs are likely
to hurt the poor the most.
