Is D a passing grade?

| | Comments (5) |
Did you see the article last week from Jim Steinberg about the American Lung Association grading?

We got a D, woo hoo!

I'm guessing we would have failed without the new policies spearheaded by former Mayor Don Kurth. During his tenure, the City Council passed several ordinances prohibiting smoking in outdoor areas such as parks, City Hall, ATM lines and bus stops. The city is also planning an incentive program for restaurants and apartments that chose to enforce anti-smoking policies beyond state mandate.

Loma Linda, which prohibits smoking on streets and sidewalks, was the only city in San Bernardino County that got a B. Los Angeles got a C and our neighbors Fontana, Upland and Ontario all got F's.

Wendy, you get good marks for a lot of stuff on your blog. I give you an F for not stating why RC and other local cities get such low grades. The problem is smog, including dirty diesel and other from the shipping industry, commuting, and power "landscaping", among other culprits. And, by the way, RC encourages the last, just like it officially applauds the killing of babies (and other people) overseas, to boost profits for various international corporations.

You tell us, Wendy. You're from Hong Kong, and over there it has grade "E" in exams. So D is really two notches above Fail. Don't get so "tiger mom" on us. "A" is over-rated.
