On June 26, California’s Air Resources Board took a groundbreaking action that will go down in history as a turning point in protecting Californians from toxic diesel exhaust by putting zero-emission trucks on our roads. The Board adopted its Advanced Clean Trucks rule, which establishes the first-in-the-nation requirement that truck manufacturers sell an increasing percentage of vehicles with zero emissions from their tailpipes. 

As part of a “Green Screen” process to interview all candidates for local office (School Board, Town Board, Village Council) online interviews with four candidates were completed this month, three incumbents and one newcomer, running for three slots in this year’s School Board election.
