Great time to institute legislature that will slaughter trucking companies, what with the economy so stable and all. I don't really have a problem with environmental aspirations, but California seems to impose these directives haphazardly. Not the time, kids. I also don't think there's any rhyme or reason to the standards they chose, or how they chose to apply them. It's also curious that, while Calif has had the strictest, meanest emission standards since most of our old MBs were made, yet they continue to be the smoggiest, most asthma-prone state ... not that it's easy to quantify whether or not that sort of thing is working. Still, seems like they're just swinging blindly away with legislature.
