Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance) showcased his clean-energy bill Assembly Bill 1077 at Hermosa Beach City Hall. His bill offers a tax credit for consumers who purchase an alternative-fuel vehicle. His prominence on this legislation demonstrates where his greatest interests lie. Apparently, Muratsuchi assumes that there are few pressing issues to consider.
Our local schools are struggling for funding. The rising average of forty students per class has diminished the quality of public education for California students. High school graduates cannot enroll in a proper post-secondary program because universities, both public and private, do not have the money or the space. Community colleges are raising fees while closing classes just to balance their budgets.
Local businesses are struggling to make ends meet. After Prop 30 passed, raising the income tax on small businesses and every consumer in the state, nineteen companies pledged to leave California for neighboring states. Because of ObamaCare and insurance regulations, California faces doctor shortages, higher premiums, and slacking access to healthcare.
"It is time we help Californians go green," Muratsuchi proclaimed. California is red in debt and blue with regulation asphyxiation. Aside from the fewer wealthy residents, who plans on purchasing a "fuel-efficient" vehicle any time soon?
With policies like Muratsuchi's, the state of California will soon indeed "go green". With no one willing to live here any longer, all the grass, plants, and trees will flourish once again, unheeded and unimpeded by human commerce, which obviously does not mean much to Muratsuchi, in the first place.
