Subject | Do NOT require all boats to meet new emissions upgrades |
Comment | Our family has sport fished in California for decades - and we also periodically enjoy whale watching. At one time we also owned a boat and we are strictly middle class. it is TOTAL discrimination to pass these laws requiring the upgrades - the only people who will be able to afford it are the richies - like the Governor (fancy diner that he is) and his ilk. You would be taking away joy from families of all incomes. Last night at a church finance committee meeting, in our church's older neighborhood, I watched as a father and son lovely readied a smaller fishing boat (with engine) for a trip over the holiday weekend. You would be STEALING that from thousands of us. And many church, community groups, schools utilize the services of these people for therapy, field trips etc. My 3 year old grandson deserves the right to a fishing trip on a friend's boat - just like his Dad and his Grandpa before that. you pass this? And thousands and thousands of boat owners will have to sell - and will be able to sell . to no one. Economic hardship all around. Tired of this Governor and his cronies making rules and regulations that do not effect him. |
