Because of the 2/3 requirement, California's legislature can't do
much to gain sorely needed revenue.  Fining polluters is one
acceptable way to help solve the problem.  It seems more than
reasonable to me to fine polluting industries who until now have
profited very well from their activities while getting off scot
free as they  threaten all living things, who are of course at the
mercy of their pollutants.  At the very least we should charge them
for slowly killing us--with two excellent outcomes:  The state will
start to fill its coffers, and the industries will begin to think
about controlling and even ending their discharge of pollutants.
