Re 'Who really pays to phase out diesel?' (May 4): It's time to take the regulations out of the makers and enforcers hands — the California Air Resources Board and the local AQMD. This autonomous and self-serving group both makes the rules and enforces the rules. They answer to no one. Their latest rule-making regarding the phase-out of diesel trucks will cost billions of dollars and the loss of thousands of independent truck drivers their jobs. And they don't care. This new rule will cost California businesses and cities untold billions of dollars.
