That's why they; California still owns the top 7 spots for worst in the country. 20 years ago I think they had the top 8 spots, so I guess that's something, not much, but good job any way (not really).
I wonder if that has something to do with winds from the west and a large mountain range to the East to trap pollution. Not every city can be Houston, Miami, NYC, Chicago, etc and just let their pollution blow away.

How does California checking OBDII codes increase state revenue?
