Subject | Regarding proposed off road diesel equipment reg |
Comment | Why is the board made up of a majority of ARB employees? Why do you not have any contractors and large equipment manufactures on the board? Why is CARB singling out only one group of people? The 90,000 contractors in California. There are planes, trains and automobiles. How about the amusement parks? Disney Land? I wonder how many people over the years have died from cancer and heart disease from going to Disney Land or Living around Disney Land? I do not think that we should fix the bridge down south that collapsed. I think we should leave it. Let people find an alternative route. They do not need to use it. That bridge has to be repaired with equipment. Equipment that does not meet CARB requirements. Does the State realize that the roads, streets, and highways that everyone drives on sits on a foundation built with the diesel equipment? Does the State realize the homes, buildings, churches, schools, hospitals etc... sit on a foundation that was built with the diesel equipment? Why is it ok to use a study from 1998? That states 70% cancer and heart disease is caused by diesel particulate matter. Where is the more current study? Shouldn't the proposed regulation be based on a current study? I think we should test all the contractors and there familys for diesel particulate matter. How can we do that? Why is it ok to cut two-thirds of a companys equity? Why is it ok to put people out of work? I want Clean Air. I think that we have made progress. California needs to back up and take a look at the whole picture. |
