After attending yesterday's CARB meeting and, later on,
watching CCL’s webinar about the new bill, I was inspired to write the following
draft LTE.
If I submit it, I’d like to do it today, since it’s
time-sensitive and I’ll be at the NorCal conference this weekend.
Your feedback and suggestions for a strong closing
sentence would be welcome.

Thursday was a good day for our air quality and the
climate! Here in Fresno, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved a
far-reaching PM 2.5 Plan that will help reduce the amount of dirty black carbon
from wood smoke and other sources that pollute our air and contribute to climate
change. Congratulations to CARB, our Valley Air District and the Central Valley
Air Quality Coalition (CVAQ) and many others for working together to create a
plan that will help clean up the air we breathe. Special thanks to CVAQ for
giving voice to the health concerns of valley residents.
On the same day, in Washington, the Energy Innovation
and Carbon Dividend Act (will add number if available before I submit) was
re-introduced in the US House of Representatives by Congressmen Francis Rooney
(R-FL ) and Ted Deutch (D-FL). This bipartisan climate bill will be good for
people and good for the economy while reducing the carbon emissions that are
fouling our air and driving climate change. We can all help get this bill passed
by asking Congressmen Costa, Cox and Nunes to support
it.
