Right on David. When I became concerned about air quality Las Vegas was
one of the most polluted cities in the country, in the worst 3%. The EPA
and local Health District implemented regulations on wood burning
fireplaces, vehicle emissions and dust from construction sites. We can
now see our mountains and seldom have breathing problems unless there is
a forest fire somewhere nearby or the pollen levels are high. Yes, they
are working on the pollen problem, have banned the most offensive plants
in new developments. Smoking is no longer allowed in public buildings or
restaurants. Laws have been passed to protect bicycle riders and bike
lanes have been added. From January 1, 1996, the U.S. Clean Air Act
banned the sale of leaded fuel for use in on-road vehicles. Who would
want to return to the years before anything was regulated?

the public welfare and/or human health, it's going to be regulated. It has
to be. That's government's job.
