Lawmakers Want Avgas Lawsuit Injunction
A group of lawmakers is asking the federal government to intervene in an intended lawsuit against fixed base operators (FBOs) and fuel distributors for supplying and using leaded aviation gasoline (avgas) in the state of California. “The Prop 65 lawsuit will disrupt ongoing efforts by the FAA and EPA, who are working with industry groups to identify an alternative to leaded fuel that can be safely and reliably used by piston-powered airplanes,” the letter states.

"The FAA would like to see general aviation disappear." O Ok...
The FAA would like to see general aviation disappear. Cutting off 100LL would also please the gasoline companies.
It wouldn't surprise me if they had even more advanced plans to start closing down smaller airports due to the 'health hazard' of 100LL. Probably real estate investors.
I am a green energy proponent, however, my family also owns a small aircraft. I happen to live in West LA and the neighborhood groups that are fighting to end all aircraft operations at KSMO have the support of lawmakers...Henry Waxman (US Congressman) Bill Rosendahl (Los Angeles City Council), Ted Leiu (California State Assemblyman), Kevin McKeown) (Santa Monica City Councilman). The mentioned authorities in turn pander to the eco nuts which has resulted in the situation of the avgas argument. Further, I strongly agree with all you in the earlier comments.
One might wonder if they looked around and saw the only industry, not chased out of the state and thought... humm what could we do to ....!
The EcoTerrorists strike again! And I believe that if you follow them to their automobiles you'll see that they drive HUGE SUV's... Silly SOB's are educated far beyond their intelligence....
