◼ Many in the business community are concerned with the lack of transparency on CARB’s responses to information regarding the use of administrative fees charged to California businesses under AB 32, the landmark greenhouse gases law. - Joel Fox/Fox&Hounds
Considering the demands for audits made by the administration and members of the legislature on the Park Special Funds, such actions can help lead to clearing the air about how much money the government actually has and how it is spent.
We should not stop that advance for transparency of government funds now. The costs associated with AB 32 would dwarf the dollars found unaccounted for in the Special Funds. More importantly, the business community needs to have faith that fees paid for administering the regulations are done fairly and openly.
