Subject | proposal to scrap pre 1976 cars. |
Comment | it is extremely difficult for me to imagine your agency proposing spending 30+ million dollars annually on any program at a time when the state can't pay it's current bills. in addition your proposal will have minimal if any effect on air quality. also, the people that you are targeting are probably currently part of the 11% or so(20-25% in some counties) of the unemployed. where do they get the money to buy a new car when they can't feed their families?it doesn't appear that your agency ever considers what these proposals do to real people who buy the way when they are working pay your salaries. your duty to the citizens is not regulations that do little to improve air quality at the expense of thousands of families that rely on some of these vehicles for their livelihood.it is also a back door attempt at eliminating classic cars which are a billion dollar a year industry for california.your proposal, although well meaning does significant harm to thousands of californians that are already struggling. i would ask that you reconsider and remove this item from submission. |
