Matt and Bill discuss clean air and the Coalition for Clean Air

Episode 20: Bill Magavern 

Longtime Clean Air activist Bill Magavern joins us to chat, and brings some welcome good news: with the COVID-19 pandemic keeping people out of their cars, many areas of California have seen a decrease in air pollution. Those gains may dissipate as Californians return to the roads, but two coming environmental rule changes could have a big impact going forward: the Advanced Clean Truck Rule will require fleets to begin including non-polluting vehicles in their lineup, starting in 2024, and anti-sprawl provisions of SB743 (a Darrell Steinberg bill, which also cleared the way for the Kings' latest Sacramento Arena, passed in 2013) will go into effect on July 1, 2020. Bill also offers a look ahead at other proposed legislation and how the recent underwhelming Cap-and-Trade auction results may impact funding.

Bill Magavern on Cleaning California's Air

Bill Magavern of the Coalition for Clean Air declares 2018 "The Year of the Truck" as he joins us for the first Capitol Weekly Podcast of 2018. New, proposed legislation (SB 210) from Senator Connie Leyva would introduce clean air rules for big trucks, which - a surprise to us - do not have to undergo the same types of smog checks that have been required for passenger vehicles for many years. This, and other proposals put California at odds with the Trump administration, which is rolling back Obama-era clean air regulations. A longtime environmental advocate, Bill weighs in on what's at stake and what to look for in air quality regulation during the coming year.
