CVAQ Director @catherinegw called the workgroup “another disappointing failure by @ValleyAir that exposes their bias toward polluters. CVAQ will continue to pursue reconciliation and justice, but I can no longer give cover to this performative process.”
Jesus Alonso, Clean Water Action pointed to "an unwillingness to compensate disadvantaged communities...this broken system allows credits for emission reductions that don't actually happen and, it robs communities of the opportunity to increase direct emission reductions.”
@sasan_saadat stated "There is simply no room for additional pollution in the San Joaquin Valley, yet the Air District allowed industrial polluters to expand operations using credits that were wildly inflated or even non-existent.” Read the full resignation letter on our website.
