The proposed California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and
Market-Based Compliance Mechanisms Regulation, if adopted, will
introduce a crippling and devastating dismantling of California's
agricultural and business economy. Already scores of moderate to
large size businesses have left the state, and with the adoption of
this regulation hundreds more are planning to do likewise. Do not
kid yourselves otherwise.
The radical interests that spawned this potentially devastating
"plan" have gone to great lengths to obfuscate the real effects of
this on our economy to the California population. 
For your Board to now adopt this would be for each of you to
preside over the onerous imposition of impossibly Draconian
standards on scores of thousands of California families and
businesses, and the elimination of billions of dollars in
much-needed and budget-anticipated revenues for an already
near-bankrupt California.
It is NOT a "zero-sum game."
If your goal is to drive California backward to the economic and
social status of a third world country, you could not choose a more
effective means than the adoption of this regulation.
With functional unemployment in California hovering just below 20%,
business owners, the greatest jobs generating engine in the state,
implore you, please do not adopt this regulation.

Sincerely,
Don Broesamle
