AT LUNGREN'S CONVENIENCE

Editor -- This letter is in response to Arlene N. Heath's letter to the
editor about Dan Lungren in The Chronicle on June 15. She says, and I
quote, ``. . . I fully support Lungren for governor. His commitment to
follow the law, even where it conflicts with his personal views, is only
one more reason to support his candidacy.''

Arlene must have been in another country while Dan Lungren ignored the will
of the people on the medical marijuana initiative, based on his personal
views. It seems to me that Dan Lungren follows his personal views, rather
than the law, when convenient for him. Which is only one more reason not to
support his candidacy.
