The Contra Costa Times editorial page takes a dim view of Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi’s pleading no contest to a reduced charge of misdemeanor grand theft after her infamous trip to Neiman Marcus. It says her credibility is irrevocably damaged and that she should resign her Assembly seat “or at the very least drop any plans to seek election to the state Senate.”
Noted: If the Castro Valley Democrat soldiers on, you can bet prospective voters will get plenty more chances to view her SFPD mug shot (above).
