Breaking News: SB 848 may be dead. HOT NEWS reported by telephone from Sacramento. According to sources Gov. Grey Davis explained to a reporter Wednesday Morning (7-14-99) that he won't sign SB 848 because it would be a declaration of war from Sacramento to Washington and that he's not gonna play federal law challenger as Governor.
We applaud this wisdom. Prop 215 is legal but exploits a loophole in federal law (medical necessity on an individual level is a protected federal doctrine). For Sacramento Politicians to make a mockery of that very specific point was entirely painful for a lot of us to have to watch. Thank You Grey Davis. We hear additionally that Vasco didn't take the news so well (major physical breakdown, violence, bad language -- the works.) We are sorry his time was wasted by the Big Guys in the Attorney General's Office and we hope to work with theLegislature in November and December of this year and the first half of next year to pass a real simple sales law or a contingency rescheduling law. But both our proposals will get lots of hearings they will be rock solid and so simple that anyone will understand them at a glance. The nice thing about the hearings were that we got to meet Bill Lockyer, oh so, briefly. He is a nice man with very pretty eyes. He is certainly a gentle, unassuming sort of man, we told him point blank that we like him and want to work with him down the line.
