Gov. seeks OK on car emission rules

January 22, 2009|Times Staff and Wire Reports

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't waiting to press the Obama administration on one of California's top priorities -- regulating greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles.

The Republican governor sent a letter to the new president asking him to give California and other states permission to implement tough tailpipe-emission standards.

He wants the Environmental Protection Agency to reverse a 2007 Bush administration decision that states did not have authority to impose greenhouse gas standards for new cars and light trucks.
