Alert: Garamendi Calls On Commissioner Lara To Step Aside

Published on

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. In a KGO television news broadcast, Garamendi said, “Over the last three years, I have observed that this commissioner is not willing to take the hard task and the necessary task 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.”
