What Sue is talking about is the “California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006″ — better known as “Cap-and-Trade.” (An old Republican idea so BIG businesses could pollute if others agreed not to.) She’s upset because she doesn’t have the right to just pollute as she pleases. She had to follow “regulations” ……. That’s called being responsible. You know, like not taking her household trash and dumping it on the neighbor’s lawn. Oh how the public “screamed” back when homeowners were STOPPED from burning their trash in the back yard…… Please notice she did NOT say: I’M BLOCKED FROM BUILDING MY SMALL HOUSE! She just didn’t like paying more for it (So High-rise Developers don’t have to)….. We paid more for having trash collectors. Do we want to go back to that?

Speaking of health and safety, Sue, how’s that Main Street restoration project coming?

That’s what I thought.

Actually, Elk Grove City Council rejected the proposal developed by their staff, but they are still working on a Climate Action Plan as is EDC. While local action is technically voluntary under AB32, there are project by project CEQA analysis issues without an action plan so doing nothing is not without impact. The law promotes compliance through litigation which only benefits lawyers. Think ADA compliance. Interpretation of facts vs activism is in the eye of the beholder….
