"Heart" Of Program Intact, Environmentalists Say By Michael Gougis - Contributing Writer June 18, 2013 – As new technology comes to market that assists businesses in creating efficiencies, the question becomes: what to do with the old equipment? In a unanimous decision last week, justices ruled that the port was preempted by a federal law from enforcing placard and parking regulations included in the 2008 program. The justices took no action on the elements of the Clean Truck Program before the court that were not covered under that federal law. |
