| Comment | Dear Chairman Nichols,
I strongly support smart growth and the SB 375 regional targets
that will help spur local action to achieve healthier, more
sustainable communities across the state.
By pursuing smart growth community planning, Californians can
expect significant clean air and public health benefits. For
example, the American Lung Association in California recently
reported that smarter growth throughout California can help us
avoid 140 deaths annually and over $1.6 billion in health costs
from air pollution-related illnesses in 2035, the year the final
targets will be achieved.
Please continue your leadership and act to adopt the most ambitious
targets possible for each region.
Thank you.
