The firestorm continues on the new Commiefornia tire regulations.
Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton has vowed that, if elected, will eliminate the unelected California Energy Commission, starting with the "Tire Hag" herself, Nancy Skinner.

The New York Post reported:
Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton promised to wipe out the agency behind California’s controversial new tire rules aimed at lowering emissions — blasting what he called an bloated “bureaucracy” that is only driving up the cost of living.
“When I am in office, we are going to have affordable, reliable energy in California that is as green as we can possibly make it. That’s what’s going to happen,” Hilton said at a Sacramento press conference Thursday steps away from the California Energy Commission.
“Instead of what they’re doing now, which is fake green energy that’s gouging every California family and business.”
The rules, approved Monday by the commission, will phase out replacement tires that fail to meet the state’s new energy-efficiency standards.
According to the Tire Industry Association, average tire prices could increase from $81 to as much as $157. For a full set of four tires, the difference could exceed $300 per vehicle.
Hilton said his first step would be targeted at one individual: Energy Commissioner Nancy Skinner, who reportedly was a driving force behind the tire rules.
Skinner is listed as the agency board’s engineer/scientist member.
“We are going to fire the tyrant Nancy Skinner!” Hilton said. “Nancy Skinner is a political hack. She has no business in that seat.”
