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
