Public and Private Actors Under Review for Possible CPRA Violations, Ethical Misconduct, and Environmental Harm
Protect Lassen is conducting independent investigations into alleged misconduct by public agencies, elected officials, and contractors, including violations of public records laws, ethics rules, environmental regulations, and efforts to conceal or cover up such actions. These investigations focus on misuse of public funds, failure to disclose conflicts of interest, improper use of CEQA exemptions or NEPA loopholes, negligence in environmental oversight, lack of accountability, unanswered public complaints, and the use of false nonprofits posing as grassroots organizations to gain funding or public trust.
