Jimveta,
Maurice Johannessen is no longer a Senator due to the term limitation law. And Aanstead seems to be in favor of this bill. I use the terminology when talking to his office that I thought even a California politician could compherend. Semmingly not. I asked them if they had a 1 gallon bucket of contaminated water and was told to clean it up and they dipped out a pint and the state sold me the right to dump another quart into the bucket because I was big business or an
oil refinery or Kanuf, how do they think they are ever going to clean the contaminated water out of that bucket. After several monents of silence, I was asked how that could possibly apply to the way they are attacking the smog issue. So I told him that they take older cars off the road that are driven very little and put out " figures used are just for simple example so politician can understand them " maybe 50 pounds of pollution in a year. They then sell Kanuf which is just a few miles from my house the right to dump tons into the air as it would cost to much to make them meet the set standards. The final answer was, We have to start somewhere and everyone should be driving newer cars anyway. I then told him that if he would make the tax payers money available to me as it was for them to waste I would have a new car. That ended that conversation.
