Stop the Tax on Warehouses
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is considering imposing an illegal tax on Warehouses - potentially increasing the costs of goods and services during a time when our lawmakers should be encouraging businesses to grow!
The regulation would require warehouses to reduce emissions by limiting the amount of trucks that can come to their building or pay a “mitigation fee.” However, because the owner receives no direct benefit from the fee, this "fee" is actually a tax. A tax that will not go before the voters.
The regulation is so complex it's nearly impossible for warehouses to comply. Forcing them to pay millions in "fees." We need to let the SCAQMD know that we are watching and do not approve of their significant government overreach that will drive up the costs of goods, threaten jobs and do little to reduce emissions in the area.
