  • ACE Train Has Special Offer Incentives for Cutting S.J. Emissions Proposed
    ACE train has special offer The Record, Published Wednesday, April 23, 2003 Altamont Commuter Express is offering a special deal to commuters who have never tried taking the train to work. Until the end of June, new ACE riders can get a one-week pass for free by calling (800) 411- RAIL. Commuters who call by Thursday each week can get a pass for the next week. After the trial period, those new riders who participated in the "Taste of ACE" event will be able to buy monthly passes for 50 percent off the regular price. For more information on ACE schedules and stations, go to www.acerail.com. Incentives for cutting S.J. emissions proposed By Audrey Cooper, Record Staff Writer Published Thursday, April 24, 2003 FRESNO -- Business and community leaders at a first-ever clean-air summit Wednesday unveiled a proposed plan to cut smog by offering tax incentives and government funds to industries or groups that cut emissions. The Operation Clean Air summit drew more than 400 people from around the San Joaquin Valley, which is by some standards the country's most polluted area. That pollution has been linked to climbing asthma rates, premature deaths and cancer. Operation Clean Air is a public-private organization interested in finding voluntary measures to cut the Valley's pollution. It was the brainchild of Fresno-area politicians and includes representatives of the nine-county Valley air basin. Officials said the proposed plan was only a draft and would go through several changes over the next few months. But the popular centerpiece of the plan is a proposed "Air Quality Improvement Zone," which could work similar to municipal economic-improvement zones that use various financial incentives to encourage urban redevelopment.

  • From the Omnibus Act of 1988 to the Trade Act of 2002
    AMERICAN TRADE POLITICS: From the Omnibus Act of 1988 To The Trade Act of 2002 Kent Hughes Director, Project on America and the Global Economy Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars A paper prepared for presentation at the Congress Project/Project on America and the Global Economy seminar on “Congress and Trade Policy” at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, November 17, 2003 Kent Hughes, Project on America and the Global Economy 2 Introduction: In 1988, the Congress passed the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 with broad bipartisan support. Unlike most post-World War II trade legislation, the Omnibus Act originated with the Congress rather than with a proposal from the Administration. Despite continuing Administration objections, final passage came in 1988 by wide margins in both the House and the Senate. In addition to a comprehensive competitiveness or productivity growth strategy, the Omnibus Act included negotiating objectives and fast track authority. Under fast track procedures, the Congress agreed to an up or down vote on future trade agreements without the possibility of adding any amendments. Neither the fast track procedures nor the bill’s negotiating objectives were particularly controversial at the time. Fast track authority (for completing negotiations) lapsed on June 1, 1993. President Clinton unsuccessfully sought to renew fast track authority in 1997. He tried again in 1998 only to lose decisively in the House of Representatives. In 2001, a new Administration made securing Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), a new name for fast track, an early Administration priority. Yet despite a newly elected Republican President, George W.

  • Info Sought on Power Plant Plan
    Info sought on power plant plan By Tim Moran, staff writer The Modesto Bee, March 3, 2004 The proposed 1,120-megawatt Tesla Power Project near Tracy is not quite ready for prime time, according to a committee of the California Energy Commission. The committee reported late last week that it needs more information on air quality and water elements of the $600 million project. A new hearing has been scheduled for 11 a.m. April 8 at the Tracy Community Center, 300 E. 10th St. The natural gas-fired turbine power plant would be one of the largest in the state, and would be within 10 miles of a 1,100-megawatt plant already licensed by the commission but not yet operating. The Tesla project would be on 60 acres of farmland near Midway Road, southeast of Interstate 580. The site is in eastern Alameda County, near the San Joaquin County border. The plant could be operational by late 2006 if the evidence requests do not cause significant delays. Once a license is approved, the applicant has five years to build. The project is proposed by Midway Power LLC, a subsidiary of Florida Power & Light Group-FPL Energy. The commission's committee wants more testimony on ammonia and particulate air emissions from the project and the water source for cooling the plant. Like Calpine's East Altamont Energy Center, the other large power plant in the area, the Tesla project poses jurisdictional air quality issues. Both power plant sites are in Alameda County, and fall under the jurisdiction of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
