Trucking companies aren’t the only ones to face the wrath of expensive fines issued by the California Air Resources Board.

CARB announced Tuesday that the air quality agency has fined the city of Compton, CA, $48,000 for “a variety of infractions pertaining to its diesel fleet vehicles.”

CARB said the city has a “checkered” diesel vehicle maintenance and recordkeeping history, and failed to properly maintain and self-inspect its diesel trucks and register construction equipment. Compton also failed to test and maintain smoke level records for its heavy-duty diesel vehicles in 2008 and 2009.

Sounds like cannibalism. The state gov't fines the city, the citizens are poor. the city is broke, the state gov't gives money to the city. The state is broke, the Federal gov't gives money to the state, the feds are broke so they increase taxes and fees. Increases the cost of living of everybody.
 
It might be one of the reasons it's residents are so angry:
