RE: Adopt the 6/14 staff proposal to reduce global warming pollution from cars

Dear Chairman Lloyd and Board members,

As a California resident and taxpayer, I strongly urge you to adopt at your upcoming board meeting the recommendations contained in the June 14th staff proposal to reduce global warming from cars. California's actions are critical to controlling and reducing global warming pollution nationally, and can spur other states and nations to follow our lead.

Global warming threatens California's health, environment, way of life and economy, including a number of our key industries such as agriculture, recreation and tourism. Passenger cars and light trucks represent the largest source of global warming pollution in California, but experts estimate that we can reduce global warming pollution by 30 to 40 percent using cost-effective and readily available vehicle technology.

California's recently enacted law to limit global warming pollution from cars will improve our environment and our air, as long as strong regulations are adopted to implement the law. Please adopt the June 14th staff proposal so California can move forward with the steps necessary to achieve this goal.
