For two years the California Political News and Views has been writing about the AB 32 oriented rules that will close down our ports. Now a government report admits the truth--the costly rules, based on smears, lies and corruption will kill our ports.
"A new report funded by a coalition of environmentalists and unions suggests port truckers are increasingly struggling to meet the financial demands of the Clean Truck Program.
The study, "From Clean to Clunker: The Economics of Emissions Control," questions the program's long-term sustainability, saying drivers aren't earning enough to make lease payments, buy insurance, pay road taxes and perform maintenance on low-emission trucks now mandated by Long Beach and Los Angeles port authorities.
The study, funded by the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy, urges Congress to support laws allowing port authorities across the country to voluntarily adopt rules requiring trucking companies - and not drivers - be responsible for the purchase and maintenance of new, low-emission rigs."
AB 32 type rules are killing jobs and keeping California in a Depression--when will we stop the insanity?
