Comment
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.
