RE: NO on AB 523 Valadao unless amended to support a waiver.

Good morning Tracy,

Federal ethanol policy increases Government motors oil use and Big oil profit.

It is reported that today California is using Brazil sugar cane ethanol at $0.16 per gal ($8billion for Big oil) increase over using GMO corn fuel ethanol. In this game the cars and trucks get to pay and Big oil profits are the result, that may be ready for change.

Folks that pay more at the pump for less from Cars, trucks, food, water & air need better, it is time.

The car tax of AB 118 Nunez is just a simple Big oil welfare program, AAA questioned the policy and some folks still agree.

AB 523 is just a short put (waiver) from better results.

Thank you for your life time service.
