Regulatory Escalation Targets Farmers
Submitted by K. Lloyd Billingsley on 3.12.2003
New legislation on air quality is the latest evidence that California legislators have a strange sense of priorities. It also marks an escalation in environmental and regulatory zealotry that could, in due time, lead to higher prices for food, or even food shortages. For decades a state law has blocked state and local regulators from enforcing parts of the Clean Air Act on farms. Now State Sen. Dean Florez, a Shafter Democrat, wants to change that with a sweeping 10-bill package, SB-700-709.
