"California's top air regulator accused EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler of twisting facts for political purposes in a letter sent yesterday.

The letter and two others released today — one from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and another from 600 former EPA employees — take aim at the agency's recent actions regarding the Golden State.

Mary Nichols, chairwoman of the California Air Resources Board, wrote in her sharply worded letter to Wheeler that the EPA chief had made "many inaccuracies and misleading statements" about California's air quality.

'CARB was established years before U.S. EPA came into existence,' she wrote."
