"The California Air Resources Board (CARB) of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal EPA) sponsored a full-day scientific discussion and debate on February 26, 2010 at the California EPA hearing room in Sacramento. The unprecedented public meeting was held because of public outcry against the latest CARB air pollution regulations. Usually California Environmental laws and regulations are passed with little debate, after an inevitable scientific review process with written public comments that are received and filed but have no impact on agency actions.
CARB has an annual budget of 1.2 billion dollars, 90% of it supplied by fine and penalty income from California business and industry. CARB and its allies in the media and the environmental movement are used to having their way.
Not this time, not yet, and that's the story to tell."
