  1. Alter CEQA but don't weaken it

    Does California's signature environmental law protect the state's air, water and wilderness by acting as a check on runaway projects proposed by overzealous developers?

Gordon's lengthy letter discussed a Times <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-toll-lane-analysis-20130410%2C0%2C5727021.story">article</a> reporting that while traffic on the 110 toll lanes has sped up since their conversion from solely carpool lanes, it has slowed on the rest of the lanes.
