The Latest On: Ozone
Seth Johnson, Attorney, Washington, D.C.: “Polluters would like no standards at all. We would like stricter standards that measure up to the Clean Air Act.”
Adrian Martinez, Attorney, California Regional Office, Earthjustice: “Polluting industries have over the last couple decades built up a significant lobbying presence at AQMD to make it really painful and hard to adopt regulations, to increase fees for the agency to do its job and to develop a real air cleanup plan. And this is when that effort really shines.”
Adrian Martinez, Attorney, California Regional Office, Earthjustice: “It’s going to change people’s frame of reference from how much worse it was in the sixties, seventies and eighties, to how do we get back to that time where we could go outside and breathe a deep breath of air and it’s safe?”
Adrian Martinez, Attorney, California Regional Office, Earthjustice: “We aren’t lacking for industry influence on the air district board. We ask the governor to appoint a person with the public health or air quality expertise needed to finally place our lungs and public health first and foremost.”
