Bravo to Paul for his ongoing efforts in protecting patient choice in CA. Also, I could not say it any better than Tim; that credibility and judgement are essential for reasonable and logical legislative policy. Obviously, assembly woman Mary Hayashi struggles with both.

You're right, Paul Gaspar is too much of a gentleman to bring up the issue of Mary Hayashi's felony conviction so thank you for having the courage to do so. I can't imagine a more relevant issue to discuss in a case like this where judgement and credibility are so important. The evidence AGAINST POPTS is strong but the rhetoric is equally strong on both sides - this calls for a unbiased decision maker on the legislative or judicial front to lay down the law. Unfortunately, Mary Hayashi has demonstrated that she fails the test for both credibility AND judgement. Great interview. Tim Great interview, Jeff.
