Former Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi called on Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara to step aside if he’s unwilling to stand up to the insurance industry.

If the commissioner is not willing to do that, and there’s plenty of signs that he is not, then he’s not doing his job and he should leave.”
