SubjectRe: PM Filter regulations
Comment
I purchased a 2009 truck with a filter. It has financially burdened
me with breakdowns about every other month since I purchased it
back in January. It is absurd that my old truck had to be removed
and replaced from my fleet "because of particulate matter".

Most of the pollutants come from the FOOD (read cows). According to
the UNITED NATIONS, "cattle-rearing generates more global warming
greenhouse gases, as measured in CO2 equivalent, than
transportation." So why does our great state of broke California
keep pushing for these regulations? We already have one of the
SLOWEST economies in the country, (thanks to our democratic/liberal
agenda of caring for everyone and paying for it as well) and with
this drought that seems to have no end in the near future it is
only going to get worse.

Our legislature already royally "messed" up our trucking industry
as it is, give the ones who haven't taken the plunge a break. And
let small businesses grow by allowing older models to get a bigger
fleet. I hope someone reads this, as I have made excellent points
and given what I think are great suggestions.
