Comment | With the finiancial condition of the State of California, it is a mistake to spend $30 million a year on a program that will provide little if any solution to the air quality problems in California. The incentives offered mainly provide an opportunity to get a discount on purchasing a newer vehicle which most dealerships will give to a consumer anyway. The pre-1976 vehicles are primarily used for shows and driven very few miles a year. If these vehicles are destroyed, it will limit OEM parts that car enthusiasts use for restorations. In 2007, when the governor signed AB118 to use $200 million to clean the air, the state was not in the financial bind it is today. With layoffs in public safety, I would prefer to have police and fire readily available to protect the property and lives of my family than spend money on a program that uses assumptions from a computer model to determine any air quality emmissions reductions. As a concerned tax payer and car enthusiast, I respectfully request that this EFMPR program be scrapped, Thank you Bob Stearns |
