Removal of Smog Panelist

Your article about Ayala is very upsetting. Why does this senator want to oust this member of the Air Quality Management Board? Because she is trying to do what she was appointed to the board to do--improve the quality of the air?

And what are his charges against Schiller? “We don’t need anyone coming into our area and agitating the troops and that is exactly what this lady does,” says Ayala.

How heinous! He is angry because she takes her job seriously enough to want to help people breathe in Ayala’s own district. Off with her head. We can’t have dedicated public servants like that, can we, Sen. Ayala? It might start a whole new trend.

Ayala would serve his constituents better if he would seek the ouster of the governor’s appointee who has rarely--if ever--voted for clean air measures.
