November 20 CARB Meeting: 3 Ways to Help

1.   Attend the meeting and provide public testimony to the CARB members.

2.   Understanding many of you are not able to leave your businesses for a day in Sacramento, you also have the option of watching and listening to a webcast version of the hearing. To do so, use this link the day of the hearing and follow the directions on the screen.

http://www.arb.ca.gov/board/ma/2008/ma112008.htm

While monitoring the hearing you can also submit questions/comments to the CARB members or CARB staff about the AB 32 Proposed Scoping Plan.

3.   Submit a more thorough letter to CARB with your remarks about the Plan and any concerns or recommendations you may have. Letters will be accepted by CARB through December 10, 2008 -- NOON. However, the sooner you submit, the more likely CARB staff will have a chance to review your letter and post it to the web site.

Using that link, at the bottom of the page you will see a place to submit your comments.

It is our goal to have as many AB 32 Implementation Group coalition partner voices heard as possible so that CARB members understand the significant impact the implementation of AB 32 could have on California's families and businesses.

If done incorrectly AB 32 has the potential to devastate California's economy. We all want to reach the greenhouse gas emission reduction goals of AB 32, but we also believe there are proven tools available that can do so while keeping costs lower for Californians than the current plan is considering.

*If you have any questions or need additional information about the above items, please contact Shelly Sullivan at (916) 858-8686.
