What a Republican Health-Care Reform Bill Would Look Like
Mr. Levy - I find little to quibble about with you health insurance outline, but it is not necessary to malign the air of San Francisco in order to malign its politicians. Having practiced law in California for 30 years as you say, surely you would not confuse San Francisco with Los Angeles, so why confuse their atmospheres? With the exception of a few weeks in the autumn and sometimes in the spring when there is a temperature inversion and no wind, the air of San Francisco and much of the Bay Area is relatively pristine thanks to the constant westerlies off the Pacific which push the pollution across the Coast Range and into the Central Valley adding to the already poor air quality there. I might add that the smog in Southern California has improved dramatically thanks mainly to automobile exhaust measures enacted in the 1970's and 80's courtesy of the USEPA and the California Air Resources Board of which I'm sure you are aware.
