California State Senator Richard Mountjoy first became alarmed by the effects of MTBE when using newly reformulated gasoline to clean old cars parts. The new gasoline melted his rubber gloves. Assemblywoman Debra Bowen was alerted to the MTBE problem when the City of Santa Monica, just a half mile outside her own district, had to shut down some of its Artesian wells due to contamination from underground storage tanks. The two detail the politics, the process, and the outcome of their legislative struggle against MTBE.
