Both houses of the California legislature have passed a bill called SB-32 which would tell the California Air Resources Board "to ensure that statewide greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to 40% below the 1990 level by 2030." The state's Democratic governor has issued a statement indicating that he intends to sign it into law.
The Western States Petroleum Association and the California Manufacturers & Technology Association expressed their opposition to the bill.

Having known some of them, I explicitly *don't* know that those are the lowest paid people. The lowest paid people can't afford the commute, and have to live in inferior housing in undesirable areas. The long commutes are made by people who want to live in a 1950's middle class life-style, but can't afford the prices in the closer suburbs. These aren't the highest paid people, but they are quite far from being the lowest paid people.

It's hard to speak for others, but among my personal acquaintances one plumber commutes to Bay Area from Santa Cruz, one mechanic commutes from Pleasanton, one engineer commutes from Gilroy, another engineer commutes from Modesto, and another contractor lives in Santa Cruz and is effectively excluded from most of the business that occurs here. Some of them are low paid, other (engineers) are what you say.
