I am writing as an advocate for early action to implement Assembly
Bill (AB) 32.  Moving quickly to reduce global warming pollution
is vital. Your and my commitment to the success of AB 32 will help
meet the set goals.  GHG emission reduction is vital and the fuel
standard included on your priority list should have a profound
effect.  Please ingore the lobby and make it happen.  The world is
watching.

California has significant air pollution problems. AB 32's GHG
reduction strategies will have a postive impact on this problem. 
Diesel fumes are proven to be a carcinogen, and a reduction of
them should be on of your early action measures.  Better
technologies were developed under the SmartWay Transport program
and widespread adoption of those technical improvements might
result from an early action measure.  

Diesel anti-idling enforcement by a larger number of dedicated
field staff is also needed.  I want to see firm deadlines for the
measures, to see real commitment and dedication from the Board to
AB 32.  In particular, dates for adoption of the port rules,
especially shoreside power, must not slip for any reason in any
region.

I stand with other Californians in support of full and strong
implementation of AB 32 and  a comprehensive program to meet all
of the goals of the statute.  Thank you for your consideration.
