CARB and State regulators constantly endeavor to achieve their own goals for "air quality" without regards for our economy in the State. As a resident of Stockton, I am very concerned that as a deep water port, your organization will put the Port of Stockton out of business. The Port brings hundreds of millions of dollars of economic activity to our City, the County and, in fact, the entire area. Please keep in mind that, with the improvements of the Panama Canal, shipping companies have options other than the great economic engines that are the shipping ports of our State. They now have access to the Gulf Coast and even the East Coast. I know some at CARB will say; "GREAT, take those ships and there cargo elsewhere!" But, killing all those jobs will be yet another nail in the California economy's life. THIS IS SERIOUS. Without an economy you and your organization workers could be the only ones left with jobs in the State. No, I am not joking here....it's easy for you to kill jobs, but impossible to kill a government program gone wrong. |
