Dear Editor,
In response to the Dec. 4 commentary by Tammi Swafford (“Yes To Cleaner Air But At What Cost”), the American Lung Association of California recognizes there are costs to businesses for upgrading and replacing trucks as a result of the state’s proposed truck and bus regulation, but these costs are

Dear Editor:
Professor Galles hasn't been paying attention to what has gone on in the Capitol since 2004. From the time Gov. Schwarzenegger took office, the overriding message of his administration and the Republican anti-tax zealots in the Legislature has been: "We don't have a revenue
