Re: Oppose Cynthia Tuck for CARB Chair

(Today's Date), 2005

Dear Senator:

I am writing to ask you to oppose Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s appointment of Cynthia Tuck to chair the California Air Resources Board (ARB).

The ARB has been and continues to be a leader of national and global significance, instrumental in reducing pollutants from cars and stationary sources. Its effectiveness throughout the years has often been due to the independence and vigorous advocacy of its chairs.

Unfortunately, Cynthia Tuck does not appear to be the advocate for clean air that the ARB needs as chair. In her role as lobbyist for the California Coalition for Environmental and Economic Balance, she has opposed a variety of critical air quality laws. On behalf of polluting interests, she opposed the Pavley Global Warming law in 2002 and SB 288 in 2003, which restored clean air protections for power plants in California.

I am concerned that Cynthia Tuck’s history as an industry lobbyist—on the wrong side of the fight against air pollution—will affect her ability to independently and vigorously enforce California’s air quality laws. I respectfully ask you to vote against confirming Cynthia Tuck’s appointment as chair of ARB.

Sincerely,
