Mark your calendar for May 22 in Fresno
The California Air Resources Board -- the state's air quality cop -- is scheduled to hold its May 22 board meeting in Fresno. The main topic: the controversial PM-2.5 cleanup plan that the regional district approved on Wednesday.
Last year, the same scenario developed for the embattled ozone plan. The state, which approves all air plans for the various districts in California, convened its meeting in Fresno and listened to a passionate argument from activists against the ozone plan. Then the ARB board approved it.
New year, new story.
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District representative on the state board is now Dr. John Telles, a Fresno cardiologist who voted against the new PM-2.5 plan Wednesday.
So, there is a distinct possibility that the Valley's own representative on that state board will vote against the Valley's plan while much of the state board votes in favor. The meeting will be at the district office, 1990 E. Gettysburg Ave. Stay tuned
