[history]
California lawmakers are at it again: using their legislative powers and the lure of the giant Golden State market to dictate what type of vehicles Detroit should build.
This time, the California Senate is insisting that by 2009, automakers greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars sold in the state. The bill demands that the California Air Resource Board adopt regulations forcing a "maximum reduction" in carbon dioxide and other gases for all passenger vehicles.

Someone that has an in with the auto companies should approach them to fund a petition drive to put an iniciative on the ballot to recind this legislation. With a proper campaign I think it would win hands down.
If done quick enough I think there is still time to get it on the November ballot which hopefully could encourage enough sheeple democraps to vote some of those out of office that voted for it.

Also, getting your car checked and passed is no big deal.
If you live in San Francisco, it's REAL easy.
They were exempted from "Smog Check II".
I was shocked when I saw this on "California Connected" on PBS super-station KCET in Los Angeles.
Funny, they couldn't find a politician in Sacramento to explain why those millions of cars
in San Francisco were exempted from rules that have to be met in Los Angeles and
by poor schmucks in a lot of the rest of the state.
And the few politicos that got on camera simply blanched when asked why it
was OK for cars to San Francisco to simply pump out their exhaust to let if float
eastward into the agricultural regions.
Easy answer...many more votes per square mile (or gas pump) in San Francisco...
I'm not against clean air...it's just that the rules are so arbitrary and crafted
to punish certain groups and reward others.
It's not much removed from that old power to tax...being the power to destroy.

That very thing is already being taught to the planers and was conceived in the 50s at the University of Chigago in the commie think tank that produces the guidlines that all our planning depts.
The planning and zoning push has has historicly deep communist roots just as public education has. All the blueprint planning and zoning ordinances that have been instituted across this country didn't spring out of nowhere, it was planned.
Those with large houses prepare to have the "less fortunate" move in with you for free without your permission.

There's no evidence to support Sen. Bowen's contention that this is what Californians want. Forty-seven percent of state motorists drive light trucks or sport-utility vehicles. Were Californians truly concerned about emissions, they have a long list of compact cars and gasoline-battery hybrids to choose from.
Thank you.
It's a few wackos that want to set the agenda for everyone else. Of course, if people out there don't wake up they will be successful in this.
I mean, after all California does have the right to pass these laws and it will have an adverse effect on the auto industry when they do.

If I'm correct, I think the Board that is suppose to determine the tailpipe limits, is probably made up of appointees who are intended to take the blunt of the rath from the voters. Cowardly Democrats who en masse voted for this, must hope they can hide the final specs in a basement and then 5 years from now, blame the Regs on un-named bureacrats who were not elected and can't be fired. Bt the time the Regs come into being, it's possible that term limits will have worked.
I'm more interested in knowing if the Board can be desolved by subsequent legislation - or defunded by a more sane Govenor. Anyone read the actual bill?
