Orange County got a state of emergency this week over a chemical that *might* leak. But San Diego’s South Bay has breathed measured toxic gases beyond chronic air standards for YEARS, with no such response. Same law, stronger evidence — the same standard should apply here.

5/ The County has declared a local emergency 22 times. Imperial Beach has been in continuous emergency since 2017. The CDC has documented the health effects. The law is clear.
Every requirement is met. The only thing missing is the Governor's signature.
