Local Advocacy - Economic

Policy Objectives: Government agencies designated to protect the environment should provide reasonable regulations, including cost-effecting reporting requirements, to support a sustainable environment in balance with commerce.

Support: Reform to the federal, state, county and local environmental regulations that avoid unnecessary duplication of permits and enforcement.  

Support: Incentives that encourage clean-air driving and reduced emissions on a cost-effective basis.

Support: Equitable spread of costs of compliance to society as a whole, rather than placing the financial burden disproportionately on business and property ownership.  

Oppose: Policy decisions based on emotions or political agendas/opinions rather than based on scientific evidence.

Oppose: Regulatory requirements that are complex and ambiguous.
