I'm sorry, but after you quoted Gary Schiff, I don't interpret him as saying
truckers should get out of the City. He argued that the ordinance would solve
certain pollution and noise problems by businesses investing in plug ins or
truckers sleeping at truck stops. Neither alternative prevents truckers from
driving into the City to deliver the various goods we consume.
I was originally swayed by Dyna Slyter's arguments into being against the
ordinance. But now, all your arguments about truckers being forced to pay
inflated prices as well as Dyna's arguments about spoiled milk from overheated
trucks seems to me now like the typical arguments and overwrought warnings of
terrible consequences that come from any industry when legislation is proposed
to curb that industry's pollution.
