CARB Ka-boom!

What’s going on at the California Air Resources Board? The story from the Governor’s office is that CARB isn’t being the tough guy when it comes to air pollution regulations and cracking down on greenhouse gases. So he fired Robert Sawyer, the board’s chairman.

Last week CARB’s executive director, Catherine Witherspoon resigned in protest, saying the agency was being pressured by the administration to “reduce costs and satisfy lobbyists,” which lead to hampering of the agency’s ability to aggressively move forward with the state’s AB 32 commitment for clean air. On top of it all, Witherspoon claims the Governor publicly blamed Sawyer and Witherspoon for not doing more to combat pollution and global warming.

Is the spin getting out of control? Sounds like CARB is going ka-boom!
