Lobbyist on Environmental Board Sparks Outcry | San Diego News
Description
Environmental groups are demanding Rhys Williams’ resignation from the Board of Environmental Safety, citing his past lobbying work for toxic waste firms like Clean Harbors and GKN Aerospace — a company linked to a chemical evacuation.

Advocates argue even the appearance of bias undermines the board’s mission to protect communities, while the governor’s office insists Williams avoids conflicts by stepping aside from relevant cases.
