A new report released today by leading environmental advocate Penny Newman and residents of the poisoned Wildomar community shows that state toxics regulators doctored data in a preliminary investigation of the Autumnwood housing complex to avoid pinpointing what has poisoned the Riverside County residents and skip any cleanup, Consumer Watchdog said today.
"State toxics regulators have shown by their actions that they don't want to open up a Pandora's Box where they might have to admit that more than one community in the state has been built on land contaminated with dangerously high levels of toxins that are making people sick," said Consumer Advocate Liza Tucker.
