How much more influence on the Department of Air Quality do you think the user-pays fee system provides the industry? Why? 4. What other kinds of funding mechanisms could be used instead of the industry-paid permitting fee? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these other mechanisms? 5. Is it ethically responsible for the applicant industry to pay for the Kaizen process? Why or why not? 6. Does your answer to question No. 5 change depending on whether just a few industry members provide the funding versus an industry association? If a donation or sponsorship is in order, should it be anonymous for the industry donors? Please explain.
