WHEREAS, the District is facing a major cut of $2.E
million in state subvention funds for the next fiscal year, that
money being reallocated to the State Air Resources Board budget;
and
WHEREAS, the proven way to control air pollution in
this basin is through a program administered by locally elected
officials xgho are directly accountable for their actions, and

a state agency which has already grown far beyond its statutory

its statutory responsibility, with most of these fees ultimately
being passed on to local consumers, and
