With standards like the ones we have that are way too low, the species will not survive when the pollution is so bad you can smell it (is not human waste either), and when we say it is safe makes all sides and myself included responsible for the ill health that will befall the children of our state.
I am the first for all sides working together for economic prosperity, but this is so ridiculous I should be ashamed of myself for not stepping up quicker. However, some of us do not enjoy the right of having the privilege of doing something productive to stop behaviors that affect all of the children of the global economic powerhouse player our great Republic of California.
