Thats comical, because those are the counties polluting the central valley, with massive smog from unregulated Farm machinery.
Fact is it was proven that if the Farm machinery was regulated by smog laws it would significantly clean up the Central Valley air but the Farm lobby cries foul under the claim it will drive their costs up to high.
So fools like that Senator who is the farmers pocket puts legislation like that out to appease CARB. I.E. make it look like they are doing something.
Which is also a crack up because most farm workers are poor and drive older American and Japanese cars and trucks. Which are likely to fall into the smog exempt catagory under current rules. Hence hardship for the poor farmworkers, brought on them by their exploitive water stealing cash hungry bosses. AKA big Farms.
