The Bay Area Air Quality Management District announced Wednesday the appointment of Philip Fine, currently an administrator with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as the district’s new executive officer.
Fine will take over the top role with the air district effective Feb. 21. He currently is serving as the principal deputy associate administrator for policy at the EPA, and prior to working at the federal agency had worked for 15 years at the South Coast Air Quality Management District in Southern California.
Fine said in the announcement, “I look forward to working with the many communities throughout the region to reduce harmful air pollution and improve the health of Bay Area residents.”
After the retirement of Jack Broadbent, who had been the executive officer since 2004 at the district that regulates air quality in the nine-county Bay Area, Sharon Landers has been serving since May as the interim officer.

Welcome.

I extend both middle fingers as signs of my affection for Fine and the BAAQMD.
I’m not fine with Fine.
We don’t need another professional bureaucrat. We don’t even need the costly agency.
It’s just another gopher hole of our tax dollars.
Someone needs to introduce Mr Fine to the Martinez refinery who act as if a little heavy metal laden ash is no big deal.
They even offered to wash the evidence off your car for free.
Any relation to Larry Fine? For those that don’t know, Larry was one of the Three Stooges.
Curlys real name was Louis Feinberg. My favorite stooge.
Larry Fine would probably be an improvement.
Mr. Fine? Ramrodding BAAQMD? Sometimes the simulation just laughs at us.

boo on BAAQMD. useless agency and does nothing good with its small fines.. the money should go to citizen instead of agency. they are the one who didn’t suffer.

Lord Broadbents hasty retirement – I heard rumors. Does anyone know the facts?
