With so much time spent debating federal environmental policy, it is easy
to forget that state and local governments play a crucial rule in
cleaning up and protecting our nation?s air.  Indeed, states and
localities began to tackle the problem of air pollution long before the
federal government did.  They have been laboratories of
pollution-control innovation.  And they remain vital partners with
the federal government in protecting our citizens from dirty air.
 
With these thoughts in mind, the State and Territorial Air Pollution
Program Administrators and the Association of Local Air Pollution Control
Officials have teamed with the California Air Resources Board to present
an
informational brochure on the importance
of maintaining the rights of states and localities to protect their
citizens from dirty air:
http://www.4cleanair.org/FinalBrochure-April05.pdf

As noted in the brochure, some would like to truncate those rights. 
STAPPA and ALAPCO believe that after reading this brochure, you will
agree those rights should be left intact. 
 
We hope you will find this background material interesting and
useful.  This the brochure is also available in hard copy upon
request from STAPPA and ALAPCO.  Please do not hesitate to request
hard copies and to share them widely.
