Doug LaMalfa comments on CARB’s withdrawal of its Clean Air Act waiver is a rare but welcome move. Getting rid of these burdensome regulations is a win for our trucking and train industries, which have faced crippling costs and disruptions. The Advanced Clean Fleet and In-Use Locomotive Regulation rules were unrealistic and would have placed unnecessary financial burden on businesses, consumers, and the economy.
President Trump has been outspoken against overreach like this, and it’s about time California follows his lead in rethinking its heavy-handed approach. This decision is a step in the right direction, and I hope it signals a shift toward more balanced and responsible policymaking in California.
