Oakland, CA — A key state official may have acted illegally in forgiving pollution fines caused by toxic and radioactive contaminants released in runoff following the devastating Woolsey Fire, according to a criminal complaint filed today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) with the California Attorney General. Further, by accepting payments from a water pollution permit holder, the official may be legally barred from even sitting on the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB).
