Nevada Assemblymember Howard Watts said in an interview that the legislative committee he chairs will “absolutely” look into pursuing an independent audit into who was responsible for altering a key public record after a Nevada OSHA inspection of Elon Musk-owned Boring Company.
Fortune reported in November that a document in Nevada OSHA’s inspection file was altered after the agency withdrew citations it had issued to the Boring Company in relation to a safety incident at one of the company’s tunneling sites. The matter was an area of questioning in a hearing on Tuesday, where state environment and safety regulators testified before the Nevada Legislature’s Interim Standing Committee on Growth and Infrastructure. A senior safety official acknowledged at the hearing that the document was altered, but said the agency had been unable to determine who had changed it.
