CA: Chiropractic panel leader apologizes (new Board Chief issues mea culpa)
Sac Bee ^ | 3/24/07 | Kevin Yamamura

State Board of Chiropractic Examiners Chairman Richard Tyler issued a mea culpa Friday for the panel's questionable actions, even as the board refired its executive director and authorized a search for a permanent replacement.

Acknowledging "gross errors in judgment," Tyler, appointed to the board by his longtime friend, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, began the meeting with a contrite statement reflecting on the board's actions in a meeting earlier this month.

In that March 1 meeting, the board fired its executive director without due notice, ejected a deputy attorney general, endorsed a controversial procedure involving anesthesia and accredited a college despite the lack of an active application.

"A careful consideration of the events of the March 1st meeting of the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners has revealed gross errors in judgment," Tyler said. "As the newly elected chair, it was, and is, my responsibility to ensure that the proper procedures and correct legal protocols are always observed. Regrettably and painfully, I failed to do so."

Tyler said Friday's meeting was convened "to begin the process of correcting the errors that were made in the past." Tyler suggested that his personal feelings may have led him astray.

"Emotions concerning honestly held beliefs all too often obscure common sense, and mistakes are made," he said.

The board then revisited four controversial actions it took earlier this month.

Yeah, --- Like, they fired him last time and this time they are going to burn him at the stake, like Joan of Ark.

Some people piss you off so much it's actually fun to fire them. In fact it's so much fun, and you get so much enjoyment out of it, you rehire them, just so you can fire them again.
