Efforts are underway to dismantle your local air quality program and 
turn it over to the state. Allegheny County has some of the most intense 
sources of pollution in the United States, and non-attainment areas 
separate from the rest of Pennsylvania. Thus we need a strong, active, 
and local air quality agency promulgating and implementing regulations 
specifically tailored to the problems unique to our airshed.

The Board of Health cancelled the Air Pollution Control Advisory 
Committee meeting and its subcommittee meetings nearly two months ago, 
they have yet to be rescheduled.

This concerns GASP, if it concerns you learn more by attending the Board 
of Health Meeting
