 I have owned a Dump Truck since 1986 and have been paying taxes,
permits, fees, insurance, registration, ect. For 22 years. In 1996
I purchased a new truck, its clean Running, well maintained and
lools great. The last 3 years in Construction has been slow and
been tough to make a profit. We may have 3 more rough years adead
of us. Many of us will not survive. It will many years before I can
afford to up grade into a newer Truck, well after your proposed
deadline of AB32 ON 12/31/11.
  I looked into funding support, but I did not qualify because
last year I only drove 20,000 miles regionally in San Diego. At
this time I could not afford any Truck payment.
  If you pass your current proposed time lines I will be put out
of business and rather then paying taxes I will be collecting
unemployment.
