How corrupt is government?
"The foremost exhibit against CARB is Dr. Hien Tran, a CARB scientist who wrote a key study the agency used to force recession-wracked operators of diesel off-road construction equipment to buy new, less polluting graders and trucks, at a cost of up to $12 billion. CARB identified Tran as a UC Davis-educated Ph.D. in statistics, a claim that gave his report some credence. But that was a false statement – Tran’s Ph.D. is from Thornhill University, which the Pacific Research Institute, the parent organization of Calwatchdog, points out is located “in a New York City office of the United States Postal Service.”
Government is forcing businesses to spend $12 billion based on fraud.
What is the response of this government agency? Corruption.
"A private right of action? As in some poor over-regulated sap going to court to charge CARB itself with making false statements to further its mission of saving the planet by smothering the private sector under regulations? Were such an action to be brought, the aggrieved sap would have many precedents to bolster his case – which is why CARB is guilty of proffering what is probably the most hypocritical regulation ever proposed in California."
