Subject | Save Our Jobs - Say NO to Cap and Trade Taxes! |
Comment | Board Member California ARB, Unemployment in California is the second-highest in the country. Over 2 million people are out of work. The last thing we need is a regulation that will kill even more jobs. Please consider this before voting to adopt a flawed cap and trade rule that will force companies to pay for up to 10% of what would otherwise have been free emissions allowances. This multi-billion dollar tax will lead to lost jobs and the flight of businesses and revenues to other states. The other western states that were expected to adopt cap and trade policies have abandoned them in order to protect jobs and their economies. The federal government has likewise determined the economy cannot afford the cost of this new emissions tax. If California insists on going it alone we should do everything possible to minimize the negative impacts of a California-only cap and trade program on our businesses and workers. This means rejecting proposals like the 10% "haircut" on emissions allowances. Save our jobs, save California's economy - say NO to cap and trade taxes. Sincerely, Wade Lestage 659 E Claiborne Dr Long Beach, CA 90807 |
