Dr. Telles Written Complaint submitted to CARB staff for the record
November 24, 2009
ARB responded to our Public Records Act request with the attached document, which is Dr. Telles’ formal complaint along with 11 exhibits.
It appears that the second Board Member who knew in advance of the 12/12/08 vote was Dr. John Balmes.
(See Exhibit 9, an email from ARB Staff to various individuals, including Balmes, informing them on 12/11/08 that Tran confessed.) Exhibit 10 is also interesting.
In an email to Telles, Chair Mary Nichols admits she knew about Tran’s misrepresentations but claimed to “know the truth” about the science and decided to withhold the information from the rest of the Board because it was a “distraction.”
