Dear CARB,

Your proposal to label my truck "EH" is unconstitutional. I do not
know of anyone on food stamps or welfare or medicaid that needs to
tatoo their belongings.

Your proposal for compliance extension for "1-3 truck owners" needs
to be changed to "2-3 truck owners". There is no relief for a one
truck owner at all. Under your proposal any extension must have at
least one truck compliant by July 31, 2014. Well if  you ONLY OWN 1
truck where is the extension for just owning one truck ? Fact is
there is none. I consider this false and mis-leading and the only
one you are fooling are yourselves.

Lastly the economic hardship for those owners who are not
incorporated or have a dba is again unconstitutional. First let me
point out it is not illegal to own a business and  not be
unincorporated, an llc, etc. So if you require proof of economic
hardship across the board how do you differentiatate between an
owners private income and business income. You can't. I know that I
work over  4,000 hours a year and some years only make $45k. I
barely make minimum wage but have excellent credit. Where is the
retrofit money to come from that you demand ? My spouse does not
work but if she did, say as a public school teacher, how would she
be responsible for regulations you make ?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. FOCUS on grants and
provide GRANTS to individual owners and not to big carriers. That
is how you clean the air. I urge you to consider the small businees
and quit enabling those who are better off. Take care of
Californians by providing across the board funding and grants. You
have been very discriminatory in an unfriendly small business
manner.

One more thing. This low mileage exemption is not a one size fits 
all, Include HHG movers as a P.U.C. entity we are.
