Government Affairs Update
 
 
Record fuel prices are squeezing the trucking industry, raising costs for businesses and consumers and fueling widespread inflation. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has prompted U.S. and European bans on Russian oil, has pushed diesel prices to new heights. 
 
Former CTA president and longtime member, Robert Ramorino with Roadstar Trucking sat down with the Associated Press to discuss the high cost of diesel and its effect on the industry.
 
 
The South Coast Air Quality Management District will host its sixth compliance webinar for the Warehouse Indirect Source Rule (ISR) this Friday, June 10 at 10:00 AM via Zoom. 
 
We encourge all members to attend the webinar and consider making a donation to our legal fund.
 
As a reminder CTA is currently on litigation fighting this unconstitutional tax, which sets a dangerous precedent that will spread to other air quality districts in California and across the nation.
The executive committee for the California Fair Pay and Employer Accountability Act, announced that they officially gathered more than the required number signatures to qualify for the 2024 ballot and is in the process of submission.
 
Despite the many obstacles for this signature gathering effort, including the Omicron surge, the campaign reports 963,056 California voters signed the petition in support of reforming the state's Private Attorneys General Act.
