Oakland targeted in clean air bill
California Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, has accused the Port of Oakland with not being aggressive enough in reducing air pollution.
'One thing has remained the same since I served on the Bay Area Air Quality Management District: the Port of Oakland continues to drag its feet when it comes to cleaning up the air,' said Hill prior to holding a hearing on Wednesday to review steps California ports are taking to control pollution.
Hill introduced Assembly Bill 1431 earlier this year, which he said would require the Port of Oakland to implement pollution-reduction measures equal to those taken by the Long Beach and Los Angeles ports.
