Bill Magavern of the Coalition for Clean Air declares 2018 "The Year of the Truck" as he joins us for the first Capitol Weekly Podcast of 2018. New, proposed legislation (SB 210) from Senator Connie Leyva would introduce clean air rules for big trucks, which - a surprise to us - do not have to undergo the same types of smog checks that have been required for passenger vehicles for many years. This, and other proposals put California at odds with the Trump administration, which is rolling back Obama-era clean air regulations. A longtime environmental advocate, Bill weighs in on what's at stake and what to look for in air quality regulation during the coming year.
